You and Rick had a great relationship,he was your rock,your best friend,your protector,your big brother.

when the apocalypse started you couldn't just leave him there alone,so you stayed even tho he could've been probably dead,you stayed and took care of him.

God knows how many nights you cried near his bed hoping for him to wake up from the coma, and when he did everything was perfect.

you've found his family and time by time you were now in Alexandria, after all the mess that happened at the line up you stayed close to Rick,until someone showed at the gates.
