Jose and Karen are the type of love story that tells of ships that spent years passing in the night, yet finally docked at the same harbor. To his friends, Jose's secret adoration of Karen was obvious. However, his secret was kept safe until Karen was ready to see the evidence of his love. Karen saw Jose as a friend who she could confide in, one that would be present to lighten the mood or offer words of wisdom in times of trouble. Misguided ideas of eternally unrequited love caused Jose to determine within his heart that the best thing to do was try to move forward. He would rather have Karen as a friend than not at all. Little did he know, the Lord has been working in Karen's heart and mind to prepare her for the soulmate she hesitated to hope for. Karen and Jose pursued their own dreams. Life took them to different states, but they remained close friends. Then the Lord said, "It is time. She is ready." Karen realized she was in love with Jose slowly but all at once. It was the kind of epiphany that knocks you to your feet. When Karen shared her feelings with Jose we all knew it was endgame. Jose finally had the woman of his dreams and Karen's heart finally found its home.
