This week is really hard. Agony, in fact. I can't shake it. Monday marks a year since Caroline died. That horrible day that changed so many lives forever... Through the heartbreak, I remain grateful for the happiest, most fun and naughtiest memories. There are so many. Probably too many. I'll never ever stop missing her. My brilliant, gorgeous and funniest friend.
