&lt;p&gt;
	There are these two boys, who I call my best friends and they constantly tell me I&amp;#8217;m beautiful-even though I&amp;#8217;m not.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;
	The other day I was listening to the radio when the song &amp;#8220;She Don&amp;#8217;t Know She&amp;#8217;s Beautiful&amp;#8221; came on one of them dedicated it to me.&lt;/p&gt;

	One night, I was having a really hard time and was very emotional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	I decided to text one of my best friends to talk.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	Even though it was after midnight, she texted me back almost immediately saying &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m always here for you and I love you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	Just before her 10th birthday, she died.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	My mom gave me a flower that day.&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;My little sister picked it herself, just before her death.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
