Love isn't always perfect. It isn't a fairytale or even a story book. Love doesn't always come easy. Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together and stay together. Love is about holding on even when we think to give up. It is such a short word to spell and very hard to define but impossible to live without. Love is work, but most of all, love is realizing that every hour, every minute and every second was worth it because we did it together. Growing up around each other but not knowing each other is proof that we were meant to be. Going to the same school in elementary, living by each other in middle school and going to high school with siblings, led us to meeting each other in 2013, where we had no clue what we were in for. From there it has definitely been a roller coaster, but one we rode together and will continue to ride until it’s over. All the memories we created, good and the bad, has led us to this moment we knew we were destined for. Through our love, we were able to create our beautiful family. Through the love we have, we will continue to grow and love each other unconditionally. Love and hard work will get us through a lifetime together.
