Our mothers, Ida and Gina, were best friends and neighbors growing up. They decided to let us meet when we were 4 & 5 years old. We lost touch for many years. When we were 14 & 15 we found each other again and hung out a single time. Again, we lost touch. Then we met again for a final time at the age of 21 & 22. We never lost touch after that. We are now 26 & 27. It’s true that we’ve had a rocky start, but we are now more happy than we’ve ever been. We are beat friends, sweethearts, and most importantly, soul mates.
