This video was captioned, "The first man I ever loved is gone. For some reason it doesn’t seem real at times. But in those moments that it gets tough, I hear your voice.

She added, "And honestly I'm the person that thought I would never in my lifetime experience a love like this. Everything about that night was incredibly amazing. I wouldn't change a single thing. As a matter of fact, I wish I could experience it over and over again."
