Out love story began on a hot summer day in New York. I was visiting his sister after my mom’s funeral and she introduced me as her best friend. He asked and I quote, “do you want to be my best friend?”. I said yes, and we became more than friends. We 42 years this past May 23rd. We’ve achieved so much together, raised 5 children and now we’re enjoying our grandchildren. As he said not to long ago, “we started this journey just the two us and here we are just the two of us”.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?He says, “when you told me you were pregnant with our first child, I couldn’t believe it but it changed my life forever”. As for me, watching us grow together in every aspect. Graduating college together, and celebrating our 40th anniversary with our children and grandchildren in our beautiful Puerto Rico.
