Derrell and I probably met in the most ironic way. Let's say we met off of a white lie, he always tell people he saw me at work and I was looking mean. But truth is this man studied me and had watched my social media for clues on how to approach me. He knew my heart was healing from a divorce and he came at me in the sweetest way. He was a gentleman and made sure I never stopped smiling. We talked on the phone for a couple of weeks and then we finally had the chance to meet. The first day we met I not only met him but I met his daughter as well. His smile and his laugh in person healed so much pain that I had from previous hurt. The rest is history from that moment. The journey of our love has been far from perfect, and the battles we have faced have all made us so much stronger. God has been in the business of protecting, growing, and keeping us straight. He is my best friend, my lover, my cry partner, my prayer buddy, and my overall soulmate. He speaks to my silly shy ways as I calms his beast ways. The story of our love is by far my favorite.
