Moving to Romeoville from Chicago was kinda a sad moment I remember in my life. Leaving all my friends and going to a new place wasn't what I wanted to do. I was 13 and knew it all. Lol. Our parents moved me and my brother there to get us away from trouble in Chicago because we couldn't stay out of it. Soon they figured out that it wasn't the town it was us lol.

Being the new kid in school was actually pretty cool, as a kid you could be whoever you wanted to be. Everyone wanted to be your friend and all the girls liked you. Then you get settled in and your just like every other kid.

Of course I chose the best crew to get involved with and wasn't long till the police were showing up on my doorstep. Long story short I was a bit of a troublemaker. As for Nicole it was the total opposite. Strait A student, honor roll, and never been in trouble her whole life. I recall her being one of the first people out of school carrying her books pace walking home. I was beating up some kid and she started walking by. I persuaded her and asked her to hold her books and walk with her home. She was very shy and I walked her to her corner of her block and then we part ways. I don't remember the first words we said to each other but I knew she was different then anyone I've ever met before. like the feeling I had for her I never felt in my young life for anyone. later to find out it was Love. I remember asking my friend to call her and ask her to be my girlfriend and she said yes. Shortly after we would meet up and spend time with each other. One of our places to meet was the library in town where we would sit out side on the bench they had in front and that is where we shared our first kiss. I remember later in life plotting to steal that bench but there was too many cameras when I went to and i chickened out. But anyways That's how it all started. Now I'd like to say happy ever after but this was no fairy tale you read about in a book or watch in a movie. But this was our Fairy tale.

We were inseparable and wouldn't spend a day without each other. we would lay in bed and talk about our lives together and our kids names which are some of our kids names now. We would promise that we will love each other forever by pinky

swearing. I messed up and she forgave me, I got in trouble and went away and she stuck by me. She wrote to me every day when i was in juvie. She is my Ride or Die.

I wasn't a good boyfriend I was involved in a lot of bad things and Nicole got pregnant with Anthony and she grew up and I didn't. It took me a while to become a man, and a good father and a good boyfriend. She was fed up and left me and I can't blame her I was putting her through hell. In and out of prison we would finally see each other and even though we weren't together the Love never left. No matter how mad she was or how long we didn't see each other the love stayed. No matter who we were with the passion between us was meant to be. we will always be meant to be. She knew it I knew it. But i just needed to Change my lifestyle.

Finally I Chose to and I remember showing up on her door step telling her I'm going to be a father to my kids and a good man to her and change my ways. For the millionth time in our lives she gave me another chance. Since that day we've had more kids and have been through ups and downs but never left. We rode this roller coaster together through it all. I'm so blessed to have this Angel in my life I don't know what I did to deserve her and I love my life with her. Through the good and the bad through thick and thin its Forever like we promised a long time ago. I love you baby so much.
