Kenneth and I met at work 10 years ago. We were very professional, but as time went by we began to talk and realized we had so much in common. We both loved helping people, music, the ocean, the sunsets and traveling. Our first date was at Lake Lanier on Easter Sunday where we spent 8 hours talking and getting to know each other. My desire to love again was resurrected. I fell in love with him, his spirit, and this softer side that could not be imagined at work.He has been a great example to my young men of what a great God-fearing man should be. He has poured seeds of life lessons and skills into them since the beginning of our journey. He has become a son to my mom and has been there through her ups and downs. Kenny is so much fun and keeps everyone laughing. He is a great father and a generous loving son. He is a loyal friend and a passionate surgeon. He has become my best friend, my lover, my strength and my forever. I’ve always said I would marry the man who could love as deeply as I love. Thank God I finally found him and I’m so honored to become his wife.
It is rare in life to be given a second chance. It’s even more rare for that second chance to renew life. My life and love was renewed on Easter Day in 2015, Gheri and I took our first step in love when we sailed Lake Lanier. For eight hours on a cold, overcast day, we drifted on the water and learned of each others ups and downs of life. On the day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, we too were able to revive life and love. From that day forward, our love has grown for each other, our family and friends. We traversed, hand-in-hand, through many relationship challenges, lead by faith and love, to a life full of hope and joy. As our souls intertwined, our spirits of love extended, and we moved into a new life, it became more apparent that Gheri is my balance. She is my soulmate who filled the missing parts. Her poise, her beauty, her knowledge and character elevates her above any other. She reconstructed the broken puzzle of me with her love, patience and understanding.
