It was a typical day at Starbucks, 13th & Tacoma, when in walked Brian to start his first shift as Estelle's Supervisor. At first sight, she thought to herself instinctively, "I need this person in my life." She shook the thought from her head, and proceeded with her workday. When she moments-later introduced herself to Brian, he exclaimed, "You're ESTELLE!" She was charmed and amused, and trying to ignore the compulsions at the back of her mind. She quickly learned about a brand-new Estelle whom Brian just helped welcome into the world, the father of whom is one of Brian's oldest and closest friends. Ellie is now their God-daughter, and a blessing they never could have imagined 5-years ago. Brian and Estelle have leaned on one another, and supported each other through some of the most intense moments a person can live through. They were fortunate to have the other's hand to hold while treading difficult territory. They were forged in fires, together, before they even knew they had been. Magnetically, they were each drawn toward the other, and continue to find healing and empowering space in each other. From across the continent, concentrically coming closer with each trip around the sun to the person that has and will continue to show more unconditional loving kindness than any single person they've loved before.
