About
Meet Michelle Custer
It is amazing the journey life takes you on, how you change, how your greatest heartbreak once was some guy but in reality it was losing your #1, your person, your everything, your soulmate! You wake up one day completely changed, forever changed, and a void so incredible it can take your breath away. I thought I would be in a totally different place then I am today.
I have not given up my dreams but I am still learning every single day how to live without the most incredible person I ever loved and who also loved me, it is a challenge. Life is short, hold on tight to everyone you love, because one day you will have to live without them! Don't live to work, work to live, live life to the fullest, don't wait for tomorrow, do it NOW, because tomorrow may not come. I would give anything to have my best friend back, to drink one more martini with her, to see her smile or to feel her hugs. I have forever been changed. I was so blessed to have known her and been loved by her, but my life will never be the same. EVER!!!
