Kenny I briefly met Julie two years prior to my divorce at a friend's house and two years later, I saw her again. I was going through a very dark time in my life and she was there for me and helped me through these times. I needed someone to talk to and she was there to listen. As time went on, I realized she was more than just a shoulder to lean on, she was, the true definition of a friend. She believed in me when I didn't know if I believed in myself. Through my toughest times, personally, financially, emotionally, and spiritually she began pouring into me. She made me believe in me again. Through my journey of rediscovery, I learned that I had truly met my best friend and the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. She makes me whole. She believes in me, prays for me, and guides me to be the man I always dreamed I could be. She not only sees the best in me but helps me see the best version of myself. I can truly say I am happy every day in her presence, with her by my side, hand in hand as we travel through this thing called life. Julie I met Kenny at a time in our lives that we were both going through our own personal struggles. I remember during one of our many conversations, I said to Kenny, “with the right partner I could be dangerous!” He asked “what does that mean,” and I replied, “I am basically the female version of you.” I was so used to being self sufficient, the provider for my family and household, while also running a business. Sometimes it felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders. Just as he was experiencing in his life. Our relationship did not start off like a fairytale. We didn't see each other across the room, lock eyes, and fall madly in love. Our story started with challenges and obstacles. During some of the hardest times in our lives, we leaned on each other for support and guidance while also creating an unbreakable bond and a friendship that will last a lifetime. While navigating all of our own personal challenges in life, we built a friendship based on a mutual respect and admiration for our hustle and resilience. We found comfort in seeking advice and guidance from each other. He is thoughtful, has a strong sense of self awareness, vulnerable, empathetic toward others and he is a natural born leader. The more we conversed, the more I began to see him differently. I began to trust him (lol not sure if that was a good idea), believe in him and trust that he could lead me, and together we could lighten each other’s load. I envisioned a life with a partner who truly supports me, who I trust wholeheartedly that has my back. And for that, I am thankful. Kenny, I need you to know whatever you lack I got you! We are equally yoked. Minor setback? Guess what? We will make a major comeback! Bad Day? I promise you a better night! As long as I got you, and you got us . . . we are in this for LIFE!
