Never in a million years did I think that I would find someone that I am so perfectly meant to be with...The term "soulmate" never meant anything to me. Not that I didn't believe in it- I just never experienced it.

I was actually at a point in my life that I needed to get rid of all negative influences, for both me and my daughters. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but on August 8th, 2015 I sent Tony a message. Which, if you know me, you know is something I never do. ESPECIALLY to someone younger than me. We talked on the phone and via messaging all the time after that and decided to meet in person on August 13th. (Now you have to know that I REALLY LOVE this kid because I'm not a date rememberer!)

From that point on it was game over- I was smitten. Tony is absolutely my soulmate. He is beyond a doubt exactly what the girls and I needed in our lives. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with the person that makes my life so much better than I could have ever imagined.

When I first met Melissa, I wasn't really sure what I was looking for, I just knew that something was missing from my life. As I got to know Melissa and her girls more, I realized what that something was... The more time I spent with Melissa, the deeper I fell for her. When I was alone I wanted to be with her. When I was with her I wanted to be closer to her. She is the perfect example of a soulmate to me. It is almost scary how in sync our minds are at times. Melissa, Hannah, and Sophie make me want to be a better person both for myself and for them. I have grown to know what it means to be a protector, a provider, and a teacher and they return those feelings to me. I never want to be without this incredible family and I thank them endlessly for all they have given me. I love Melissa, Hannah, and Sophie with all my heart and I consider myself the luckiest person on this planet to have found them :)
