We’re Getting Married!

We knew of each other 7 years ago when our daughters were best friends and seemed to be inseparable, They even had silly nicknames for each other. We would discuss the girls' sleepovers but never really had a connection, It was not until 8 years later when coincidently we were both going through a separation from our significant other and tragedy struck his family with the death of his dear niece Rene. He was heartbroken, and I became concerned. I called to check on him periodically to see how he was holding up, but it wasn't until my divorce and COVID that we got to know each other better. I always thought of him as too serious and stiff for my taste but after I met him it was like looking at a version of myself, We couldn't be more alike! We get along so well, we like having fun together and with other people, and we can be honest with each other no matter what. Now, that's rare!
