We met in the hallways of Guelph General Hospital in the summer of 2019. I was working in housekeeping between school programs and Francis was already established in his career as a mental health nurse. We'd pass each other during shifts until one day Francis asked me to go for a drink. Our first date was at McCabe's pub downtown Guelph. What I had originally expected would be a transient, in-between phase of life before I started my career ended up becoming something far more meaningful—I ended up meeting my person. This quickly became a really important chapter in my life, the beginning of our life together.
