Four months after they met, Savaughna was offered an opportunity to relocate to Tennessee. Unsure of how long the move would last, Michael and Savaughna faced the possibility that this might be goodbye. As they packed up her car and stood in the parking lot of her apartment, the reality of being apart set in—there were tears, long embraces, and a quiet attempt to soak in every moment of what was about to change. Before parting ways, they each had one last surprise for the other. At the same time, they pulled out their gifts—framed photos filled with some of their favorite memories together. Even without realizing it, they had chosen the exact same way to say, I’ll always be with you. In that moment, they said “I love you” for the first time. As Savaughna drove down I-81 and Michael headed home, they knew that no matter how far life tried to pull them in opposite directions, together was where they belonged. Six months later, Michael flew to Tennessee, helped pack Savaughna’s car once again—and this time, brought her home for good. The rest is history … ❤️
