Duane and I were brought together through two of the most important people in our lives — his mom and my dad. Our story was truly years in the making. His mom had reached out to me long ago to see if I’d be interested in meeting him, and Duane even tried to set up a date — which we never actually went on, lol. A year and a half later, I saw him again at my baptism. After that, my godmother and my father kept asking if I’d seen him. Before reaching out, I prayed and asked God for guidance. A week later, we finally went on our first date, and we’ve been together every day since. What we didn’t realize was that God had been moving long before we knew it. Duane had been golfing with my dad for an entire year, forming their own bond without me even knowing. Both our parents kept dropping hints, planting little seeds along the way. From the beginning, this has been a divine union — guided, timed, and brought together by God.
