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.

Background Story

Nala had spent the last two nights enjoying having an oven again.  With this meal, she enjoyed making a meal that required more than one burner.  

If you never had the pleasure to watch her in the kitchen, it was like watching the most organized chaotic dance of culinary planning and execution.  She knew exactly what she wanted to do, had it timed, made plenty of mistakes, but you'd never know it.  She was so damned good that she could recover from anything.  I love to prep all of my food before I begin cooking, but she'd do all of her prep as it needed to be done.  Watching her move back and forth in the kitchen was so much fun for me.  

I'd be watching her from our couch (obviously not during the time this pic was taken), and she'd occasionally steal her own glance at me from the kitchen and catch me.  We'd lock eyes, smile at each other, and she'd say some smart ass comment to me like, "What are you looking at?!"  I love and miss our conversations so much - no matter how small.  We loved our moments of banter.  Lived for it, even.
