There was a boy named Johnnie who grew up a native Coloradan surrounded by mountains and beloved by family and friends. As a kid, he loved digging up worms with his sister at his grandparents' yard. Even though he lived through tough times, he was built to become optimistic and free spirit. 65 miles outside of Denver, a girl named Rachel born in Colorado spent her childhood and young teen in the busy city of Hong Kong, on the other end of the world from Johnnie. This girl doesn't like worms. Then, she fearlessly returned to Colorado, adapted a new lifestyle and became independent and career oriented. Despite the fact they once lived 8,000 miles apart, their story together begins at a gelato shop in Highlands Ranch early Summer of 2019. (P.S. he is lactose intolerant) They spent 6 hours together eating gelato and walking around the nearby park. The amount of discussions were endless. The pre-COVID life was incredible, they explored local festivals, restaurants and checked out new things together. Even during the lock down, they kept things entertained by experiencing new cooking recipes and crafts. This global pandemic allowed them to grow more fond of each other. "The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all." -Mulan Last but not least, his Siamese kitties Radish & Lyla enjoy her company as well. One more human to spoil them. It can't be that bad.
