We’re getting married!

I was working as a med tech at one of Timothys facilities that he had frequented as a nurse case manager. Even though I didn’t know at the time, Timothy had his eyes on me. One day he was walking past an NIBP machine and saw my blood pressure reading of 174/108 (he apparently still remembers the exact values). He asked whose blood pressure it was and all my coworkers pointed to me. He told me to sit down in the most worried way. He checked my BP manually (by ear) to confirm the NIBP reading. I remember feeling butterflies in my stomach upon him asking me to sit down. I thought it was so sweet he wanted to make sure someone that he never talked to before was okay. A couple days later, he happened to ask for my Facebook. I couldn’t help but immediately messaging him after he asked for it. It was as if it was love at firsts sight. And now I know I have high blood pressure and found the love of my life. Thank you Hospice Nurse Tim!

When I met Hailee, little did I know that I would be entering parenthood almost immediately. Within a couple days of “talking” I knew she had a son. And that scared me, honestly. But once I met Dallas, my life changed. If it wasn’t one thing falling in love at first sight with his mother, then it’s definitely falling in love with a second person that won my heart over. Dallas and I immediately became best friends. I discovered that being a father isn’t birthing someone, it’s raising someone. As many of you know, Hailee and I suffered through a miscarriage. It was the hardest moment of our life. But Dallas has been the glue that fixed my wounds and helped me heal. I could never have made it through that moment with him. Dallas and I now share a bond, unbreakable by anything. He is my son and I can’t imagine a life without him or his mother. Dallas and I do everything together! He even has a passion for Star Wars, football, hockey, and Legos, just like his Dad! For all of you who know Dallas, you’ll have no problem understanding how this pure, loving child wiggled his way into my heart. And while this wedding is a celebration and commitment of Hailee and I, I also look at is a promise to Dallas, to be the father he deserves to have. If you read this one day, know I love you and mother more than anything.
