A true LOVE story

The first time we saw each other, we were in the 6th grade at Thurgood Marshall Academy in St. Louis, MO. When I saw Oshela for the first time, I knew that one day she would be my wife. I watched Oshela from afar, never getting up the courage to speak to her. We started high school and both went our separate ways, Oshela attended a College Prep School and I moved to the Webster Grove School District. I thought in the back of my mind, I would find her one day and see her again. Social media played an important part in is connecting again. Over the years I would send her messages to her DMs (direct messages) and just write on her wall just to say hello, wanting to stay present in her life and thoughts. Fast forward to July of 2015 at the Magic House I noticed a beautiful face in the crowd. I had to take a second look. Could this be her? Surely this could not be her. Oshela was playing with her little cousins on the slide. Our eyes connected and we have been together since that day. With THREE beautiful kids, Joshua Quinton Hall Jr. Madison Blair Hall and Charlotte Rose Hall. My family is now complete. “Ask for what you want, and be prepared to get it.” -Maya Angelou-
