Our love story

The start!

When i was 18 years old and working as a waitress at a little family restaurant, I met a guy who was 10 years older than me. He was the one who came for Matthew. We dated for three and a half years, and even lived together during the last year and half of that relationship. We moved into a tiny little house and owned Gracie and Cooper together and our relationship was never a terrible one. He was a good guy, I was a good girl, and we really did love eachother

But for every moment of those three and a half years, i had a nagging, itching, aching feeling that he would never be the right one for me. Despite his great heart, he lacked ambition and drive and handled his finances very poorly and, at the heart of it all, was very insecure despite being a bright and attractive guy. I understood him, though. I understood that his family had never prepared him for LIFE, and the poor decisions he made as a younger man had him caught in a sticky web and a hole he just couldn't seem to dig himself out of.
