Adrienne was always my purpose. Tyler, Jenna and Brody have always had such strong personalities, but I worried about Adrienne. She always seemed so fragile to me, and I was terrified that people would take advantage of her kind nature. What I learned after she passed was that she was one of the strongest people that I've ever known. She was magnetic. You couldn't help but be drawn to her. When she was young, she was scared of EVERYTHING. I used to laugh so hard when mosquito hawks and June bugs started coming out. She would sit in the car until I shooed them all away from the front door. She slept in my bed with me every night. Then, she grew into this fearless being. She was always down to go anywhere with me. She was my "P.I.C.", my Partner In Crime. She was so loud. She would push my anxiety to the brink. She was my purpose. She made me want to be a better person. I'm just not sure what to do now with this emptiness. Her birthday is approaching, and I started to dread going to Olive Garden because that's where she always wanted to go. I would eat at Olive Garden everyday for the rest of my life to have her back...to have a purpose. I completely understand these words from 'Steel Magnolias' now from the depths of my soul...God, I miss her so much.
