When we look back on how we came into each other’s lives, we always praise God for His divine artistry. The strings of God’s plan tied us together, and we always knew we were meant for one another. AJ, as most men do, knew before I did on Halloween night of 2020 of all nights. He was a freshman swimmer from Northern Georgia who ended up at college on the whim of his hometown swim coach. That night, he discovered that his college career set him on a path that would ultimately meet mine and never diverge. Months later, I finally came to the same realization. After hours of conversation in a cramped Honda Civic (at least for AJ), I began to find that a lifetime without him in it seemed as impossible as imagining my life before him. From those moments, God watched over us and guided our steps as our love lead us here.
