Earl and I met on a dating site called "Tinder." Honestly, I wasn't actively looking for anything or trying to entertain anyone at that time.. I was just bored, lol. Earl messaged me. I left him on read. In all honesty, he talked to me like a true gentleman.. His approach was so sweet. But at that time, I thought it was games. I couldn't believe it, and I never responded. So two weeks later, something made me get back on there and ignored all the other messages and went to HIM!!! And I'm glad I caught him because he didn't think I was going to respond to him, and he was over "Tinder" the day I reached out was the day he was about to deactivate his account.. He told me he didn't think I was interested. I went on to explain why I never responded, and he understood. We exchanged numbers the 3rd night of talking on the dating site. The first night we talked, we talked all night long. From that night on, we would fall asleep on the phone and wake up in the morning before work and talk some more. We did this repeatedly every night. It was our routine.. We did go through a little hiccup during our relationship, unfortunately... We broke up for six months because of an "entanglement🤦🏽‍♀️😂" Yeahhh...I said it!!! I needed the space to see what was good for me.. During that time, Earl was understanding, he was patient, never pushed, or rushed me to decide on anything. He would sometimes check in on me and see how I was doing, and I would still contact him to see how he was doing.. He still stayed in contact with my mom. On the day he got baptized I showed up... He didn't know I was coming. I saw him and we both played as if there were no feelings or in other words "tried to play hard" but on that day for some reason, I knew I couldn't go another day without him. When I needed him he was there every time!! No matter the situation or the TIME!! His love was never conditional with me...That's why I'll always and forever have his back. I love him beyond words... My kids love him..He may not be perfect...But he is perfect enough for me! I love you Earl Hill. I'm so happy and excited to see what life brings us from here on out. I'll always and forever have your back. I'll stand proudly beside you as we walk through this journey! I love you baby!
