DON'T FORGET ABOUT MINE

This is for you! Ty, just the two of us drifting off into the sunset!

In the symphony of random connections, I found the most important person in my life through a fleeting Facebook conversation. We'd barely exchanged words when they mentioned Starbucks, and I, half-joking, replied, "Don't forget about mine." What was meant as casual banter became an unexpected invitation when they took me up on that offer. A single lighthearted comment about coffee—something I almost didn't type—became the bridge to the relationship that would redefine everything. We've been together ever since, all because of a throwaway line that somehow became the first chapter of our story.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ For that, I am truly grateful to you.
