We met as kids. We were both four years old and were in her moms wedding party on November 14, 1986. Russ was the ring bearer and I the flower girl. I have been in love with him since we were kids. Russ obviously wasn't having it because girls have cooties at that age. We grew up together and saw each other here and there at family events. No we were not related. No sweet home Alabama. Russ finally gave in to me and started sneaking to see me as much as he could. At age 17 we were engaged and he was going into the Army. Things happened and we went separate ways. I have always still loved him. I have never wavered in my love for him. You just can't keep us apart. He got married and had 2 kids and I did as well. He has always checked up on me just to make sure me and the girls were doing okay. Finally in December of 2020 it happened. He had just finalized the divorce and had messaged me checking up on us. That started us up again because I ran with it. I wasn't happy and through some divine intervention it was like he knew. That message has been what's saved me. We soon moved in with him and the kids and have been inseparable since. We are both extremely happy and hope for nothing but the best for us and for our 4 kids.
