It's almost unbelievable that our story began all the way back in middle school! It's truly a tale that's hard to recount without smiling from ear to ear. Where to even start? Well, it began with a note passed from a boy to a girl, which, hilariously, never actually reached its destination. Life took its course, we moved on, and grew up, but that first crush always remained in the back of our minds. Fast forward many years, Facebook appeared, and that's where the real fun started! In 2020, as the world faced turmoil, our world was just beginning to come together. The isolation of that time provided a unique opportunity for self-reflection and understanding what was truly important. It seems fate, or as you put it, "the man upstairs," knew it was the perfect moment to bring two imperfect people together, a sentiment I wholeheartedly share. When the time was right, we spent an entire week talking until 5 AM, as if nothing else mattered. It became clear then that, at the very least, we were destined to be lifelong friends. It's as if the universe remembered those feelings from 7th grade and knew we had a connection all along. It truly seems that what is meant to be will always find its way. Thank you for "circling the block." Now, here we are, joining our families and embarking on the journey of co-grandparenting together. There's truly nothing like navigating this next chapter of life with you. We really pair well.  #PairWell
