Shaquaya

Let's see...Vaughan and I met when we both worked at Comcast in 2008.  He was instantly attracted to me and I blew him off for a very long time.  Finally I decided to give him a chance and we began dating.  Our first date was to the drive-in and I had never been there so it was very special to me.  I remember him telling me he wanted to have lots of "firsts" with me.  He was so sweet and affectionate and I really loved that.  We started telling each other we love each other very early and although I meant it at the time Vaughan was in love with me and I was not yet in love with him.  I was a single mother, working full time and going to school part time so I had a lot on my plate.  I loved him but I just felt like I could not handle a relationship at the time.  We parted ways but there were no hard feelings.  We kept in touch for a while and I could see what was going on in his life through facebook and vice versa.  Well one day I saw a post from Vaughan on facebook that he had been diagnosed with ALS.  At the time I did not know what it was and did not take the time to research it or contact him.  I just wasn't ready to face something like that.  Months later Vaughan was on my heart for about 3 days in a row.  I decided to contact him and he told me I should research his illness.  I decided to do that and I could not believe it, the illness was life threatening.  This weighed heavily on my heart.  I knew at that moment I wanted to be part of his life forever even if it were only as a friend.  I vowed to be there for him no matter what and to help him as much as I can. From that moment on we were basically inseperable all over again.  We decided to basically pick up or relationship where we left off and things are much better the second time around.  I am more mature and I appreciate the type of love Vaughan has to offer.  This is not the type of love you come by everyday.  He builds me up and makes me feel like a queen.  Our marriage was a mutual decision and no formal proposal has been made but I wouldn't care if he didn't propose, I am going to marry this man. I have a STRONG faith in God and I believe that Vaughan can be healed from ALS.  We will not let this disease stop us from living our lives together.  I will keep praying that we can fight this disease and April 14,2012 will be the 2nd happiest day of my life!
