Sabrina's Instagram Account

Anyone who actually knew Sabrina, even a little bit, would know and tell you about how private she was.  She didn't want anyone knowing her business.  This was never more true as it was on the internet.  Despite her inner-nature, she created an Instagram account specifically to allow her and I to communicate through photos.  This was mostly because the first year or so of our relationship was long distance.  These are the photos that you couldn't see, because her account was private.  I wasn't even allowed to comment on or like them.

TIP:  Start at the very end, and then work your way back from there if you want to read through our story in chronological order.

This is pain. I won't ever forget it.

This is pain. I won't ever forget it.

Background Story

Nothing broke my heart more in my life, than when my Nala would be unhappy, and especially if it were to the point of making her cry.  This is one of the days that her ex tried to "revive" their relationship because she was moving out, and she felt so incredibly guilty and heartbroken about telling him that she wasn't in love with him anymore.  

I don't know the specifics since I was never there, but she didn't feel safe during those conversations.  She would never ever let go of that guilt.  She was loyal to a fault, and a certain someone would take advantage of that from time to time, causing the pain in this photo to resurface over and over.
