It wasn’t just a meeting—it was a moment of recognition that reaffirmed the power of faith and patience in life’s waiting periods.

Through heartfelt memories of pivotal moments—by the riverbed, at the beach, and beyond—I recount how our friendship turned into something more. This story is a testament to the beauty of holding onto God’s promises and finding love in the most unexpected ways.
