Demosthenes and I work for the School District of Philadelphia. We have known each other since 2008 -2009 school year. We became friends while we were working together at the same school. We lost touch when the school closed and a couple of years later we reconnected on Facebook. As we reconnected, our friendship continued to grow into a wonderful relationship. Our friendship and relationship grew into respecting, loving and trusting one another. We encourage, support and strengthen each other. We have a good time and there is never a dull moment. We are always laughing. We are continuing to learn from each other through this journey that we are taking together. Through this relationship and journey we are becoming one.
