We have been together 15 years. We have been through so many ups and downs but we have been each other’s rocks. We had a miracle baby.

Our love story began back in 2010 when this nice man started working at a company I was already at. He helped me when I needed help and I helped him when he needed help. He told all the things he was going through and so did I. We confided in each other because we were both going through difficult times. I had three boys from a previous relationship and he took them in like they were his own. Took care of all of us. That’s when I knew he was for me. We have been together since.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?My favorite memory was when we had our first child together. I was 39 was scared my baby’s heartbeat went low and they had to do an emergency C-section. All of a sudden 10 doctors were in my room wheeling me to emergency and my husband was next to me tells me everything will be okay. The next thing I knew I had delivered my healthy boy. My husband never left my side.
What would you do with $20,000?We have so many debts my husband mom passed away two years ago after Christmas in her hometown but obviously my husband had to send the family money to take care of all her burial expenses. He is the youngest and is so responsible he took a loan out on his card to send money and he still is paying it monthly. This weighs heavy on us. He would be able to pay this off and also he had to leave his previous job due to people were jealous because he always friendly with the president of the co.
