How did your love story begin?

Our love story proves that timing isn’t everything—true love is. We first dated in high school around 1999, but life led us down different paths. He became a devoted father, while I faced unimaginable loss, losing my children’s father in a car accident in 2013 and my second husband to blood cancer in 2023. Through every joy and heartbreak, life brought us back together over 25 years later. Today, he’s a successful General Manager, and I fulfilled my dream of becoming a Registered Nurse in 2025.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

The birth of our grandchild, & definitely getting married is our #1

What would you do with $20,000?
