🇺🇸We have met in 2008 through mutual friends, a group of optometry students. During the time as students our lives went towards different directions when Mariana became a swimwear designer now in the yachting industry as Michael graduated from Nova University a Doctor of Optometry. We have remained friends for many years as it grew over time. At the time we were in relationships, both were married and even invited to each another’s wedding but neither one could have made it at the time due to our destiny’s geographic locations. Nowadays, we believe that we went through everything we had to at that time. However, it was not the right relationship for one another. The years went by as divorced individuals as we have had one very special encounter as our souls instantly recognized we were meant to be. We followed our hearts and started our lives together as a blessed family. Dr. Derhodge prescribed Mariana a permanent prescription where she only has eyes for him and he changed her vision for life. Once we have read an article that soulmates meet at an early time in their lives and eventually they come together as one as we truly believe this happened to us as here we are together for life! 🇧🇷Nos conhecemos em 2008 atravĂ©s de amigos, em um curso de optometria. Embora naquele momento estivĂ©ssemos traçando o mesmo futuro profissional, nossos destinos foram separados quando eu, Mariana me tornei designer de biquĂnis e capitĂŁ de barcos. Michael entretanto, permaneceu no curso e se formou como Doutor de Optometria. Mesmo longe do ambiente de estudos, mantivemos a amizade que sĂł cresceu com o tempo. Na Ă©poca, vivĂamos outros relaciomentos e ambos casados e atĂ© se convidaram para os prĂłprios casamentos no passado, mas por razões geográficas do destino nĂŁo foi possĂvel. Hoje acreditamos que vivemos tudo que devĂamos ter vivido naquele tempo, com as pessoas que estávamos, mas nĂŁo eram de fato as pessoas certas para cada um de nĂłs. Os anos se passaram, nos divorciamos e anos depois, em um encontro de amigos, houve tambĂ©m, nosso encontro de almas, nos apaixonamos e seguimos nossos corações. Hoje formamos uma linda e abençoada famĂlia onde Dr. Derhodge receitou para Mariana uma receita permanente onde ela sĂł tem olhos para ele. Lemos um artigo sobre almas gĂŞmeas, e nesse artigo dizem que as almas gĂŞmeas já se encontraram na vida mas elas sĂł ficam juntas na hora certa e realmente foi o que nos aconteceu e aqui estamos juntos para toda vida!
