June 4, 2016  I was at a graduation  cookout at Buck Hall Landing. While I was sitting with the girls Antonio pulled up with his brother, Preston. I asked who is that guy? I knew I recognized his face ... He walked over to  where we were and his aunt said to him that girl likes you. I was so embarrassed that she put me on the spot.  We chatted for a moment, and when I left the cookout, he followed me to Santee, where we exchanged numbers. And as they say.....the rest is history.  But let him tell the story  he remembers  none of what I am saying. We came into each other's lives at a time when we needed  each other the most.  He is an amazing man, father, provider, and the absolute love of my life. I am so grateful that we will get to spend the rest of our lives together. ❤️
