We met through mutual friends. I was a senior in high school, he was a freshman in college. It didn't take more than two weeks for the both of us to fall hard. We chose to fall and never look back, following each other to school at East Central and through all of the hardships life could throw at us along the way, we saw each other through everything. Ty got his first job in law enforcement, then his second, and now I am working toward a physical therapy degree and we still support each other and lift one another up every second of every day.
