One Sunday over 5 years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting April when she walked in the Sanctuary of Southern Baptist Church to sing. It was love at first sight. I knew she was different so I had to take my time and get to know her in a special way. I watched and waited for 3 years only speaking when we passed each other in the hallway. I can remember a time when she sat next to me, I instantly felt like a little boy, not knowing what to do or say. After that day I knew I had to make a move. One Sunday while she was feeding the choir breakfast in between services I watched her from across the room, waiting for her to be alone to make my move. When I walked over I engaged in a conversation about cooking as she advised me that she caters. I told her if she ever needed seafood I could get it for her at a discounted price, she said perfect and gave me her order( Thanksgiving happened to be 2 weeks away). I took her order and walked away but came back to ask for her number so I could let her know when I got the crabmeat. I immediately went to work and retrieved her order, I called her early in the morning on a Saturday, not knowing she wasn’t a morning person 🤣. I asked her for her address and prepared myself to deliver her order. Unfortunately when I arrived, April was still sleeping. After waiting outside for 30 minutes, April finally came to the door. Although she made me wait seeing her was worth the wait. I gave her the crabmeat and I even added some steakfish in not knowing it was her favorite fish. Before I left she hugged me and said thank you, after that hug it was the beginning of our relationship. She was my girlfriend but didn’t know it. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤣 I would periodically text her just to say hello through text. One day she called and asked for more crabmeat, I told her I was in New York so she apologized and hung up. After that we didn’t talk for a while, I was mad so I broke up with her, once again she had no idea🤣. Two months went by without communication, One Wednesday night as I was standing outside the church something came over me and told me to go inside and give April a hug. As I walked in the door I saw her coming out of the chapel with the choir. As she got closer I approached her , spoke and gave her a hug. For me it was a very different type of hug, a special feeling ran through me while hugging her. I knew that day that she was someone special who I wanted apart of my life. That hug was the beginning of a forever friendship that evolved into a relationship . As time went by I knew she was my FOREVER. On our 3rd year anniversary I proposed, and here we are preparing to become One! I count myself blessed and favored by her presence in my life!
