I am so incredibly grateful for my dear mother and the example and encouragement she has been to me. She gave life to me, raised me, loved me, and encouraged me to keep on keeping on even when the keeping on gets hard! To simply trust the Lord and know that He has my life in the palm of His hands... that nothing happens by chance and that He is working on my behalf! She is an incredible woman of God and I pray that one day I will be able to pass on to my children what she has passed on to me!
Our story began August 20th, 2017 when through a fluke we got paired up to work a 12 hour shift together. Benjamin proved to be an incredible listener and super easy to talk to. This one shift turned into many more as Ben went to the supervisor (unbeknownst to me) requesting the same schedule. These shifts proved to be a highlight in my week and I couldn't wait to get on the truck every other Sunday with Benjamin. I cannot tell you when we started dating, but our first time meeting up to study (outside of work) was October 12th after school in a Starbucks in Grimsby, ON. Benjamin was a once in a lifetime friend and I was growing to admire and respect the man I saw in him. Finally, our school semester was over and we were able to spend a bit more time together and getting to know each others families. He fit into my family so well from day one. My siblings adored him as he took time to listen to them and be interested in their lives! Christmas together was amazing...and then it was ...
