Aim…devastated isn’t even a strong enough word. My nursing professor, the one who pushed me to try harder in school, you held me when I cried my heart out at my divorce, we talked about Danzig and Renn faire, always planning to go together…you were always so funny. Us bonding over the “lusty month of May”, and musicals…I will miss you so much… -Caleigh Torres
