We first met on a dating website. Several on-line chats lead to a FaceTime meeting and then to many late night phone calls. We discovered so many things that we had in common, the love of family, positivity, kindness, and of course music. We had a great post-Covid run of shows from Flogging Molly to Bella Fleck, to Jason Isbell… with many others in between! In between concerts we have had the great opportunity to share most of life’s “relationship tests” this last year- two weddings, a funeral, purchasing a home, multiple road trips, airline flights, and a family holiday. Each had its challenges but we never failed to find humor in every situation and these moments wove together a compelling first chapter of the story of our life together. When you are truly happy and you appreciate how full your life is, finding your best friend and falling in love is the most amazing surprise gift you could ever receive. Blessings upon blessings upon blessings!
