It seemed of all weekends this had to be the weekend I was to make an unexpected trip to Lewiston to pick up a counter top... Yes I was thankful for the opportunity to see everyone, but wasn't really calculating it in at this time! It was to be shipped by noon and due to some complications, mostly my fault... we had to go pick it up at a warehouse not to far away. I was so thankful for Henry and the way he just dove right in and made the necessary phone calls (for me because I don't do the "phone thing" very well) and insisted on coming with me to the warehouse to pick it up... so thankful the Lord sends people your way to help. So thanks Henry for being so willing - really appreciate it!
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 ...
