Clocked out, helmet in hand, and backpack on my back, I was on my way out the door when I saw HER - the woman of my dreams (along with Pharaoh) through the storefront glass, walking towards the door. I dropped my stuff and moved the "next salesman up" to the side.


I was NOT going to miss the opportunity to get in front of her. I knew from first sight, before she knew of my existence, that I wanted to know her. Could her soul be as stunning as her physical being?


After shopping the store - and each other - she didn't buy anything, but I sold her on myself just enough to
secure her contact information. I was texting and calling before she made it home.


Five days later, we met at the Dallas Museum of Art. The next day, she brought Pharaoh and met me at Klyde Warren Park. This young man called me "Dad" when he walked up. This was only the second time he met me! I'm really paying attention now because... Well... The young man called me "Dad. This is God telling me that this is where it's at.


Sheri and I were inseparable immediately. It is still that way to this day. Every day with Sheri is a blessing. Life has not been the same since. I've been blessed beyond comprehension. God trusts me with Sheri's heart and soul. And that is how I know I am living life right.


This is a gift any man not related to her would do ANYTHING to have. And all I have to do is be myself. That tells me I'm in God's favor and I've reached a point I'm my life where I have secured the bag of lessons learned. Not just any man gets to be Sheri's man forever. If I ever had an issue with my confidence in myself or the belief that I am a man deserving of the best in life, Sheri has moved me in the more positive direction.


Sheri has me worshipping God more. I pray to God in thankfullness for her.
Sheri upgrades me. She makes me smile. She makes me laugh. She makes me think. She makes me see life from a more beautiful perspective. Sheri challenges my soul in a way that makes me the best version of the man I can be. Sheri challenges me. Sheri checks me. Sheri elevates my spirit to heaven on the daily. Sheri makes me cry tears of joy even as I write these words.


I am in disbelief. But it's happening. It's real. I am the man who has the divine privilege of being together forever with Sheri now, for the rest of our time here, and most importantly in heaven forever.

Sheri is the one that was never going to get married. Her family will believe it when they see it. And here she is. Right in front of me, teaching me unconditional love
