My freshman year of HS, I was going through a lot. I had severe anxiety, and was in a constant state of panic. I was also dealing with the depression that comes with said state of panic.
This is going to sound weird...but he's my 'one time at band camp' story. We met at freshman band camp. He was one of the older people who had come to help out. He was a sophomore when I was a freshman. We eventually started talking more...and we ended up going to driver's ed together...where we shared our first kiss...which is something I will NEVER forget (but that's another story...)
Anywho, We started dating on April 6th of 2009. We've been dating 'on and off' since then. He goes to college in Minnesota, while I'm in Wisconsin, and theres about a 6-7 hr drive to get to him. The stress of the distance is hard...but we aren't giving up.
But, none of that is the point. The point is...he's been there for me. When I had a panic attack and we had friends over...he went up to my room with me and sat with me while I cried.
When we got into a fight after he forgot about dinner (he had been REALLY busy with the school musical), he came to my house, at midnight, and called me. It was like the 'prince throwing stones at the window' type thing.
When my Grammy died, he played the piano at her funeral.
He has listened to pretty much every single rant, sob story, freak out, etc that I have had over the past 4 years. That takes a lot...
Bo is a major part of my life. I can't say that if he hadn't come into my life...that I would be here now, I honestly don't know. He became my strength when I had nothing left. He was the only friend that I had...and one of the few 'true' friends that I have today. I am so thankful for him, and everything that he is.
Bo and I before my senior ball in May of this year
