How we met! A Valentines Day contest :)

Ive told this story before but Ill definitely tell it again as it is my most favorite story!!

I used to live in a place where I thought love was just a thought. I never knew true love... I didnt realize how deep that feeling could truly go. That is until I met the love of my life, my literal soulmate, my one and only, Danny. You see, me and him were definitely supposed to be together. It was written in plans that neither of knew about, fate if you will. Danny had been a part of my family since way before I met him. My grandfather, Tata had been Dannys only "father" figure that he had ever known. Dannys childhood wasnt the best, he had a mother who would do anything to make her boy happy but she had her own demons and unfortunately, they won often. Tata and my grandmother, Nana, took him into their home at a young age and taught him how to be a man and how to love without condition. For that I am soo thankful. Even though my whole family had met him, I never had. It wasnt until my fateful trip to California to visit my Tata that I had met him. It was the ending to an era for me, one where I let myself live unhappily for far too long. I had finally decided I wanted, I needed to be happy. I only had to decide it for myself, and it was time. I will never forget that weekend... as it was the beginning of my life!

He has showed me what love truly is, what passion truly is. He has given me the most precious gift of all, my sweet Sophia, who is the most perfect sides of each of us. There isnt a thing I would change about her, even when shes being snotty! Its going to be that strong will and strength that will push her so far in life. The world is a tough place and it seems to be getting a little harder day by day. I pray for her to never lose that strong will and that strength, no matter how many gray hairs I get because of it!

She is strong, independent, beautiful and so very smart. Shes going to give the world hell! Shes perfect! She sees the beauty in the little things like her momma...

And wants to fix everything like her daddy...

I dont know all the facts of life, nor do I want to, but one things for sure.... You gotta take it one day at a time. Never rush through it, youll miss the things that make you who you are. We only have such a short time here on this beautiful planet and only a short time with the people we love, never take it for granted. Live it and love it, you only get one chance!

Thanks for reading about my loves and I! Happy Valentines Day everyone!
Peace, love and hearts!
