July of 2019 was a mess. Every. Single. Day. All. Day. Long. Danny. He was what was on my mind. Watching a movie with friends. Danny. Talking to mom about school. Danny. Watching the little boys I nanny. Danny. Everything. Danny. When my birthday came I fell apart. I finally admitted to everyone that I wasn't okay. I told my mom, my friends, everyone in my life. I wasn't okay at all. Back in July of 2018 Danny had called me on my birthday and asked if he could take me to lunch or dinner or anything really to spend time with me. I told him I appreciated it but was at work and would be with my boyfriend Casey afterwards. I always wished I'd taken him up on his offer. This year was supposed to be different. We were supposed to wake up and fall asleep together. We were supposed to spend the entire day together. We wouldn't end up doing that, of course. As it turned out, my 16th birthday was the only one I ever spent with Danny.
