When Allen entered my life I was nervous that i was going to fall in love with you. i told myself “how can a man love a woman who is pregnant with another man’s baby”. We were both going through really traumatic times in our lives and both needed a friend. I remember “sliding in your dms” and asking if you wanted someone to talk to. I thought maybe i could perk you up a bit. it was pretty difficult to get you to respond at first but i stayed persistent and made sure you knew you had someone here for you, someone who cared. we were constantly texting and about a week later on father’s day as i was on the way to grand isle you asked me if i would like to have dinner with you, i was nervous but still agreed. you came to pick me up, got out of the truck gave me a hug and opened my door for me. all i could think was “damn this man is tall” “why you so tall you look like a giraffe”. we sat at the restaurant for 3 hours just talking…. well i was the only one talking. you let me sit there for 3 hours and trauma dump. we went back to your house lost track of time and ended up talking until 4am i won’t ever forget that night. I remember how easy it was to talk to you it felt like i was catching up with an old friend and i didn’t want it to end. after that night the rest was history. we started hanging out every day. facetiming when we were apart. sleep overs every night, trying to convince not only myself but my family that you were just my friend. and as the time went on my feelings grew stronger and i finally agreed to tell everyone that we were dating. of course everyone was skeptical of us being together because i was 6 months pregnant but i just felt like we were meant to find each other. a few months later i finally give birth to a healthy beautiful baby boy and seeing you smile and hold that baby for the first time i knew i made the best decision of my life. not only did i find a man that loved me even though i was pregnant i found a man who loved my son just as much if not more than he loved me. from that moment on i knew i wanted to marry you.
