My dear friends….here on YouTube. Some of you already know the horrific news that happened last Friday…and most of you aren’t aware what happened. 🥺💔

My best friend, my sister at heart, my world… Stephanie Bonilla ….took her own life 😭😭

This still doesn’t even feel real to me. But as sad as it is to say, she’s gone. 🦋

I’m going to miss her so much! I’m gonna miss her crazy dancing and laughing and her HONKS whenever I walked in front of the car. I’m going to miss seeing her name pop up on my phone whenever I got a text from her. I’m gonna miss “the plans we made for our future” talks and talks about traveling!!

The other day, when I was driving looking for a spot to stop and clear my mind, I discovered this nature preserve next to a cemetery. I decided to park and walk down the hill that led to the water, the Maumee Valley River, what a spectacular view it was. I sat down on the dirty rocks and looked out at the water. It was glistening. The sun was bouncing off the tiny ripples in the water creating a sparkled effect, a beautiful moment in time. I knew Stephanie was there in that moment with me. I prayed to God and as I finished with my prayer, I looked down where I was sitting. I found a beautiful pink iridescent muscle shell. Just sitting in the dirt, broken into pieces.. I pulled it up and started crying. This shell was like Stephanie, in a way, beautiful but broken. She was shattered into pieces just like we all are now. I wish I could have been there for you, to help you, to let you cry it out, to do whatever you needed to do in that moment besides what happened. I am going to miss you so much. A piece of my heart is truly broken and I don’t think it’ll ever fully heal but I promise I will do anything in my power to help your daughters become strong independent woman.
