we are getting married

We met while working together on the cancer unit at the hospital. Both of us had the honor of caring for an incredible terminally ill patient named Jeff, who left a lasting impression on our lives. Jeff cared deeply for both of us and often requested that we be part of his care team. One day, Cody and I were assigned to work with Jeff together. During that shift, Jeff decided to play matchmaker. He asked Cody what he thought of me and later asked me what I thought of Cody. By the end of the day, Jeff was on a mission—he urged Cody to take me out, even going so far as to call it his “dying wish” to see us together. A week later, fate stepped in again when I lost my keys after work. Cody kindly offered me a ride home, which unexpectedly turned into dinner. The rest, as they say, is history. We like to think Jeff had a hand in bringing us together, and we’re forever grateful for his encouragement and the memories we shared with him.
