Day 56 training 4 our wedding and I’m keeping it REAL with you.
Before Sekou, marriage was never on my radar. EVER. I enjoyed my Single life. Because I was so frustrated with dating that I made peace knowing I’d probably HAPPILY just grow old and become the Black version of The Golden Girls with my homegirls: Tonya and Lamese.
People would say.., ‘date a man who’s your friend,’ but I didn’t believe men even knew how to be my friend.
I prayed and kept my standards high: he had to love to run and he had to love to read or atleast could read.
My prayer was answered. Then he had a Massive stroke. SHOCKED is an understatement. Amnesia, paralysis, cognitive challenges... it devastated us.
Leaving never entered my mind.
Today He can run and READ! He’s not where he WILL be; but thank God he’s not where he was.
Fellas, high blood pressure and strokes will steal the midlife partnership you want—stop ignoring your health.
And ladies over 40, don’t give up on love and marriage. God can exceed your list.
We’re working up to 12 miles a day. And listen, you’re a huge part of our July 14th announcement.
Save the date.
Keep rockin’ with us, fam. Day 56.”
