Six years ago, fate found its way into our lives through something as simple as a Facebook post. Alex saw my picture on my sister’s page — a small moment that changed everything. He sent me a message that wasn’t polished or rehearsed, just real.

He told me he was going through a divorce, that he had two children, and that he wasn’t looking for games — just an honest connection over a cup of tea. There was something deeply authentic in his words, so I took a chance.

When we met, he showed up with flowers and opened the door for me like a true gentleman. He took me to a beautiful restaurant overlooking the ocean, where the sound of the waves seemed to echo our laughter. We talked for hours, lost in the moment, not wanting the evening to end.

But life still had its rhythms — work, responsibilities, and distance. I lived with my daughter, and Alex often traveled for business. We kept in touch with texts, pictures, and FaceTime calls, but after a while, it all began to feel repetitive. We missed feeling each other — not just hearing or seeing.

That’s when we created our “Love Thing.” 💞
