The first time we laid eyes on each other was at a one year old's birthday party. Due to our current love situations, nothing much came from it. A year later, at the same child's second birthday party, we locked eyes again. Our first conversation dealt with the topic of baby gates and how difficult they were. Days after the party, our mutual friends asked us both to go to dinner with them. From there, something magical happened; an everlasting friendship was formed. During our years as a couple, we have endured countless hardships including devastating losses and battles no one should have to bear. These trials brought a lot to our relationship. They brought pain, stress, meltdowns, and more. They also, however, brought strength, understanding, and an unfailing support system. Although we've had our ups and downs as a couple, through time we have learned that we can tackle anything. Our love can truly conquer all.
