I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love Everly. Every little memory of her was like a million paper cuts to my soul. Everly is love. She’s the person who will always make me feel like she’s connected to me in every way. She’s like a piece of my soul, and I feel whole when she’s near me.

“Beautiful, I’m whiskey, and you’re tea. We are opposite in so many ways, but we go together. I’m not a nice guy, but I’m a good guy. You need to know the difference. I’ll always love, protect, and be here for both of you, no matter what.”

Because sometimes family isn’t who you started with; it’s who you end up with.
