We met into 2015, but the timing wasn’t right at the moment. Sadly. But…. We always stayed in contact. Texts. Calls. Sometimes a quick face time chat. We became friends. Which grew the relationship.

Even after all those years, Michael was always sure Linda was his girl. And she knew deep in her heart he was her soulmate. It might have taken her time to get there, but he never gave up, and they have never been happier. His love for her started after a 4.5 hour phone conversation (before ever meeting in person), where she kept him laughing (mostly for being an MU fun), but more importantly and eventually, for spending every Sunday watching the Chiefs play. She could never imagine her life without his sense of humor, love for life and most importantly, his love for her family.

November 2021 was life changing. She threw him in after only a month of dating, and he met her family. Her heart exploded when her niece started planning the wedding the night she met him. Her details were not 100% accurate, but her confidence in Linda and Michael were spot on. You can't fight a strong willed girl like Francesca Grace!
