Trayce Renee

"It was like I heard Angels whispering in my ear....That's him Trayce" It was early April 2004, me and my girlfriend Maya were out and about at Mosely park in SW Atlanta. The lovely brothas of Omega Psi Phi were hosting a cook-out. Maya and I were looking extra cute and Ty-Ty was with us too. We rolled up on a group of motorcycle dudes and realized that we knew many of them. We all started talking and as usual I was motivated to make myself center of attention. Everyone in the circle was laughing at my jokes, but out of the corner of my eye I noticed this lone dude not even cracking a smile. I was totally taken aback, "not laughing at my jokes, I'll show him". So, I turned up the heat. I began "taking dudes out" and as the roars of laughter continued, none of them were coming from the clean cut, dapper, red and black motorcycle riding, cutie pie. The lead motorcycle dude was ready to go and Maya and I waved goodbye. I was so crushed that I did not spark the attention of this mysterious young man. I watched as they mounted their bikes and started up their engines, when all of a sudden I noticed that the un-entertained gentlemen turned off his bike and motioned for the others in the group to wait. He walked over to me and all I could hear was my heart pounding a mile a minute. As he walked closer I was suddenly calm. As he neared I caught a glimpse of his eyes, and that's when it happened! "I grew old with him" I knew at that moment, before we even uttered a word that we were meant to be. We began to talk and there was an instant connection. And we have been together ever since. Our road together has not been without a few rocky spots, but with the Lord as our guide we have managed to grow closer. "And the Best is Yet to Come!"
