A few weeks ago, if you told me that I wasgoing to meet someone who would completely change my life I would have probably dropped to the floor laughing. Back then love, to me, was just something that existed in movies and sappy romance novels. Little did I know, love is real and it's something that.. once you have in your grasp, you should never let it slip through your fingers, ever. You see, my story didn't start off like most do.. it all started with a day that began horribly wrong.
