Over 19 years ago I got handed a war. I was given the ultimate challenge and told if I didn’t fight, every single day, for the rest of my life – I wouldn’t just  lose that war. I would lose my life.

After he says that,  he tells me he wants it to be a surprise so he won’t tell me what it is… Not an hour later he sent me a picture of what it was. (Apparently surprises aren’t his forte) It was a “Kool Aid Liquid”. Cherry flavored. It was cute. Kinda, sorta odd- but cute. THEN! He goes:  “0 sugar”.
