We met in Vista, California, in 2016. Julian's mom was a resident at the facility where I worked as a CNA. I grew a close bond with Adriana (Julian's mom) and secretly looked forward to seeing Julian when he would come to visit. At that time, we were not in a position to be together and maintained a professional relationship. After a few years, I moved to work in LA, and Julian finished college. Fast forward to November 2023, I received a message that Adriana was passing, and I reached out to Julian to see if it was okay to come visit. He said yes, and I drove from LA to see her. We sat with her and talked, and after a while, Julian asked me to dinner. I said yes, and from that night on, we have been inseparable. - Written by Sierra
