Happily Ever After

Our families attended the same church when we were kids, and we spent many Sundays together in CCD classes. We were even paired as walking partners during our Profession of Faith ceremony. But in 8th grade, I moved to Connecticut, and over the years, we lost touch. That was until one day, I found him on Facebook and sent him a friend request. We began exchanging occasional messages—simple birthday wishes and holiday greetings—but it was nothing more than that. Then, more than 10 years later, he added me on Instagram and sent me a message. From there, a genuine friendship started to blossom. For nearly two years, we chatted and grew closer, until one day, Ricardo finally made the first move and asked me to hang out. We've been inseparable ever since! God knew we belonged together.
