We met online when I joined an online group Shabit had for chronically ill young adults. At the time he lived in Calgary, Alberta, and we were friends for about 6 months before we decided to start a long-distance relationship. Almost 2 years later, Shabit was able to move to North Carolina for work and our relationship has flourished in person since then. Shabit proposed to me on Christmas Eve and now we're planning our life together. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
