Heriberto and I were introduced by my sister, Sofia, and her now-husband, Harrison. Though we had managed to avoid crossing paths for several years, fate finally brought us together. Heriberto had visited my parent's house many times during holidays, but those were the very holidays I happened to be working at the hospital. It wasn't until a going-away party for my brother-in-law, Harrison, that we finally met in person. Heriberto, being Harrison’s best friend from the Air Force, was there, and that's where our story truly began.
