My friend Doc had been trying to get me to travel to Milwaukee with him on several occasions. I would say to him, "awww man ain't nothin goin on in Milwaukee." Til one fateful day I finally gave in and jumped on in the ole F-150 and rode with him. We arrived at his cousin's new home, Tatrice, and attended a party at a club in Milwaukee. Afterwards we all crashed at Tatrice's house and went home the next day. Little did he know I was impressed with Tatrice's appearance and her persona. She had left a very good impression so I inquired with Doc about Tatrice. Not really thinking much of it afterwards I was just saying to myself that Tatrice seems to be a good woman. We then a week or two later traveled to Ohio for another party and while sitting at the party Tatrice showed up and all I could say to myself was, "that's the lady who's house we were at in Milwaukee." and she was looking good. We partied in Ohio and crashed at Doc's cousin's house ML. The next morning everyone came to ML's house and there she was again. We all trailed each other back to Chicago and Tatrice and the rest in their vehicle continued home to Milwaukee. So I asked Doc again, "what's happening with your cousin Weary? (Tatrice's nick-name). Doc replied by saying "I'm not sure, you would have to inquire yourself." So the same day we were in the alley just kicking it and doing what men do and Doc was handing me his phone. On the other end it was Tatrice. I can't recall our conversation word for word but we connected so well and I know we did because that conversation lasted well over an hour. We exchanged information and talked even further and the more we talked the more we began to see every day things eye to eye. So we stepped it up a notch and started dating. As we all know dating is like a "get to know you" stage. Trying to make a long story short, Tatrice and I blended very well together. The both of us removed dark clouds from over each others head and we eventually fell in love with each other. We made life goals simpler for each other. We supported each other through good and bad and up to this date continues to do so. This is the reason why we are here and we both have the desire and the will of God to continue progressing with this great blessing of us meeting each other and growing together as "1". Us coming together is just the beginning. We have a long way to go, "the rest of our lives." Thank you God for this blessing.
