We met in December of 1991 at a winter break party in Oakland, CA and immediately started dating. But, at this time, Aisha was attending college away and I was attending school locally which after a few months created a break up. Ironically, we lived and worked very closely to each other in the years following the "break up". Amazingly, it wasn't until December 2009 that our paths would once again cross through a mutual friend on Facebook. Between December 2009 and June 2014 we didn't blow much wind at the fire, only periodically reaching out to check on one another. However, in June of 2014, after being invited by Aisha to Christopher's (Malik's) high school graduation party the gusts picked up and the flames grew. As they say "you break up to make up"...AND WE HAVEN'T LOOKED BACK SINCE!!!
