On October 10, 2019 I went out for a drink with a friend at Bucciero’s in Mechanicville. We were there for a few hours when Jake walked in. He was grabbing a drink after getting off the night shift from work. My friend and I then thought it would be fun to play pool, even though I was not good at it. lol Jake and another guy in the bar were playing. We asked them if we could play next, they said “why don’t you play with us”. I was nervous because I didn’t know how to play and was going to look silly. Anyways we picked teams Jake and I were paired together. I look at him and said I have no idea how to play. He laughed a little and started explaining it to me. He had very little words to say which for me was weird because ,if you know me at all ,I’m a talker. I may have made an inappropriate comment just leave it at that! We ended our game and sat at the bar and talked for a little while longer. The night was coming to an end we exchanged numbers and the rest is history really. A year after Jake moved into my apartment with me and Mason, about two year later Mason passed away. That day was a hard bump in the road for Jake and I. Then we got our next little buddy Ash Parker he’s a big pain in the butt but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Fast forward to today here we are in our beautiful home with our beautiful son Lucas just months away from our second best day of our lives.
