We met in Cummings Hall on the campus of Morgan State University in August 1991. Bill, a rising Junior, came to check on his cousin (Marlene’s suite mate) as she also settled in for her freshman year. This chance meeting led to a crush that was not pursued for 2 years and then delayed for another 24 years as we each pursued our separate paths. A chance Facebook post and DM led us back to each other and gifted us a love that we have been searching for our entire lives. Life put our love an extended delay but our love will never be denied. A lifetime of love and laughs await us and we are excited to share the rest of our lives together.
