When asked to write our love story for this website, Tim responded - "We have a love story?". Tim - funny guy. The truth in that statement is that the evolution of our relationship starts with the strong foundation we built as a friendship. Five years seems like a lifetime when you've experienced the loss of two parents, a cancer diagnosis (happy to report Julie is in remission!), a global pandemic, and the rough edges life throws at us all in between. Life can be hard, and grief is isolating. Friendships die out and fade, new friendships are formed, and time spent with those you love becomes the most valuable thing on the planet. How lucky was I to have a best friend with me through it all? Maybe we don't always know how to show up for the people we love, but to have someone show up, every time, is a comfort I hope everyone gets to experience someday. To share life's most vulnerable and intimate moments with someone you love is truly a gift. The ring on my left hand just makes it that much sweeter. Oh yeah, and I swiped right!! - Whitney Rae McFee (since it will be the last time)
