I looked into her eyes and never saw her as a way out of my own Hell. I never wanted anyone else to have to travel it besides me, yet here she is, being what’s kept me in a place where the light is safe and the love remains.

On our second day of vacationing in the Dominican the urge came to surprise Carli with the ring we smuggled down. At dinner I “faked” an illness in order to get the ring and get to the special bridge before the rest of the dinner party. Once dinner was over I was met on the bridge by Carli, Mason, and the rest of her family.

We were both born on November 3rd!

I like turtles.
