The first time I met Tham, she was in the hospital room with my grandma taking care of her. I saw her and thought to myself “Who is this beautiful woman taking care of my grandma?” From our first conversation that day I knew she was different. As time went on I grew to appreciate her humor, her smile, her personality, the way she carries herself, and most importantly her relationship with God. Before I even realized it, I was in love. I went to church happy to see her walk by. I waited patiently for her text to light up my phone just as it lights up my day. I talked with her for hours about everything and nothing at the same time. I sent her beats eager to hear her opinion or the occasional freestyle harmonizations. We sent voice messages back and forth just to keep the conversations going long after the phone calls ended. It was as if I’d found a long lost piece to complete the puzzle of my heart. February 13, 2025 I expressed my feelings to Tham. December 19, 2025 we made our engagement official. July 2nd, 2026 I get to begin the journey of a lifetime with my best friend ❤️♥️🙌🏾

I met Frand officially at the hospital when I was visiting his grandma. I say officially because when I thought I was introduced to him, I apparently was not. It was ruled that I met him in a dream. I was playing it cool, being a bit tough to try to run him off, because I was afraid of everything I thought that could come out of this relationship. I tried to avoid him, but my heart drew me closer the further I tried to go. I discovered it was his prayers that made it unavoidable. Eventually, through our encounters and conversations, I couldn’t run away from how fond I was of him. It wasn’t the fact that he’s handsome that drew me; it was simply who he was that allowed the bridge to be built between us. His tenderness, my callous heart needed; In his love, my heart flourished, in simple ways. He eased me. After praying to God to remove any biases in knowing if he was my future husband, I received multiple confirmations from the LORD. Then, the wave of those feelings came back. Over time, our bonding over God’s goodness from our past to present, music, sports, and other activities showed me how genuine his love for me was. We were privileged to be friends before expressing our feelings for each other. He showed me the patient, understanding Friend that my love would grow for. After that beautiful rainy night of his professing love for me, the next couple of mornings, my heart smiled to hear what the whispers of that night revealed about what his actions were trying to tell me for years. From our relationship in Christ, to our friendship, to our engagement, to our marriage, he’ll continue to be my forever Frand. While Christ is my heartbeat, the reason I love, Frand is my beat title, one whom I love♥️.
