In the same year that I moved back to the USA from Brazil, Ronnie's dad became the pastor of the church I started attending. From there on, we became best friends. I always had a crush on him but to me he still needed to grow a couple of inches, and to him I was a giant! After Ronnie's growth spurt kicked in, there was no way to deny my crush for him - and obviously his for me!
On the celebration of our 3rd year together after brunch, Ronnie took me to my aunts house to this "bbq" they were having. As I walked up the stairs of my aunts house, I seen all of my friends and family with their phones out while "Lets Stay Together" by Al Green was playing in the background. My heart immediately dropped to my stomach and my eyes started watering, next thing I know Ronnie is down on one knee.
