Heroes:


Hallie Gronquist is unlike any other being I've ever met. I know I cannot find any other who would get exactly what I feel, describe, smile at or snark over. She is my other half, and we share a soul. Throughout the start of our friendship to recent there has been no creases or disintegrating worries. She's been my ally through every treacherous, painful time to the most amazing and life changing experiences. Hallie thank you for everything, lave. Seriously. You've helped mold me into who I am today, and I thank you for doing so and more. I lave you.
