We met at Coastal Pre Release Center, N. Charleston,SC as SCDC Correctional Officers. Reginald, was an exceptional correctional officer, friendly and encouraging and I was the CUTE and determined new hire on her 1st "real job". Reginald was given the task of acclimating me to the daily operations of the facility and as a result, a mutual respect and genuine friendship evolved and was maintained for over 20years. We supported and celebrated each other though our lives successes and challenges. Reginald "Tibbs" supported me through a break up or two, my graduation from graduate school,as well as in the transition of both my parents. It was clear all the long throughout our friendship that we liked each other however "timing" just never seemed right regarding dating until 2016 when we reconnected via a by chance encounter at Tanger Outlet. Well.."Timing is everything" as post this surprise encounter we agreed to "hang out". Inseparable since, we became engaged on September 16,2017 in Savannah, Ga.
