We were classmates in the 6th grade; we didn't talk much, but we were cordial with each other. Between the occasional smiles and short greetings, it was enough to know we had a friend in one another. It was until 11 years later when a fire ignited in our hearts, relishing a newfound love that was planted by God in the beginning. Along came a reconnection, a renewed friendship, a phone call, and the rest is history.
