This is my favorite photo of Charlie and I. Charlie showed up in my life in a really big way. We had only been dating for a short time. I still remember him surprising me with a home made dinner on Valentine’s Day (with help from his Pap!) and flowers. No one had ever done anything like that for me before. Everyone loved Charlie. He was my advocate. He was my friend. He really was the reason I was able to get through one of the hardest times in my life. He would pray with me and send me encouraging Bible verses every morning with his good morning text. We took this photo after I was finally able to come home after months of being away. He took me to the Waterfront to see a movie. I was so happy. It was nice to do something normal again and to be with my best friend. I will always be thankful for how he was there for me. He had such a big heart and was so selfless. I miss him so much, but know he is at peace with the Lord.
