This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

It’s about love for one’s home, about those who remain, about the things that will never again be the home they once were. It’s about people who lose everything - except their memories, and their ability to love even among ruins, Alena texted
