We have been through it. Around it. In it. And we did it together. I almost forgot who I was… but he reminds me. Every day. And I him.
We would like to thank you for supporting The Kenny and Toni in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
We actually met on Yahoo! Personals. I was completely over dating and couldn't find anyone in the small town where I lived. The other dating sites felt scammy, but I figured, why not give it one last try? I messaged him first, and he took forever to reply. When he finally asked to text, I laughed and said, "Nope—let's just meet tomorrow." We did. That was in October 2009, and we've spent almost every day together ever since.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?My favorite memory isn't one day—it's a season. We endured an unimaginable loss that changed our lives forever. I didn't know how we'd make it through, but he refused to let me face it alone. He became my safe place, my strength, and my hope when I had none left. He didn't just stand beside me—he got me through it. I almost forgot who I was... but he reminds me. Every day.
What would you do with $20,000?We'd use the prize to buy back something we're all running out of—time. After the unimaginable loss our family experienced, we realized that no amount of money can replace a moment you never got to have. We'd use this gift to slow down, be present, and make as many memories with our family as we possibly can. Because in the end, time is our greatest treasure.
