Michael and I met when we were about 14 years old. We met on an old social media site. Not thinking too much into it, (and being so young) we hung out a few times. We always kept in contact and would often come back to one another. We split ways in 2015 and both started new journeys in life. I had our daughter, Ellen while Michael moved to Texas. We were both in different relationships and lived completely different lives. I used to beat myself up about him. I knew I made a mistake in not fighting for him when I had the chance. When all fell through, we reconnected. Our first "Adult" date, we both knew this was it. He is currently raising Ellen with me as his own child, being the best future husband, and taking good care of our family. We never imagined we'd be getting married and loving every second of our lives together! He was worth all of the hard things and our relationship is stronger than ever because of all we both went through. I'd do it all over again just to get back to him. Cheers to my best friend, I'll cherish him forever.
