Before they were even dating Abigail would message him saying, "Good morning Sunshine." It was funny because he always woke up later in the day. This turned into her singing to him whenever he was down or not feeling well, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away."
