Years ago, our moms, Robyn (Erick) and Julie (Ashley), worked together and became friends. The moms would go walking and drag us kids to the park to play, so we have known OF each other since we were young kids but we never associated with each other because of the 6 year age-gap. Several decades later, Ashley's mom's passed away in June 2023. Ashley contacted Erick's brother, Brandan, and requested that he pass along the news to Robyn. Brandan recruited Erick, instead. Erick contacted Ashley through Facebook messenger to get the details on her mom's passing. In July, when Ashley's Grandma passed away, Erick contacted Ashley again to offer condolences. We have been inseparable since. We believe, fully, that Julie had a hand in bringing us together.
