I met Maggie nearly 13 years ago when she was slightly bigger than the palm of my hand. Bringing her home was met with frivolous remarks from friends and family. as the years passed by, the bond between us only grew stronger. as I developed from a nonchalant boy to a responsible young adult, Maggie accompanied me in every phase of my life.
