HE SAID
“Before meeting, we were both in their own personal worlds, with our own ideals and life goals in mind. I was very involved in my law enforcement career. I was a force to be reckoned with. Known for being a real serious type, I wore many hats and was considered a leader in all areas. Having been married before with four adult children, I was carrying around a grudge big enough to cover the city of Chicago. I really didn’t want to hear about marriage, and certainly didn’t want to be involved with anyone who was thinking on that level either. My ultimate desire was to be a Christian, while enforcing the law by day and beating on sinners with a Bible by night. Although my persona exuded toughness, deep down inside I was a man undone and consistently prayed to God for peace in my life. Additionally, I prayed not only for the strength to wait on God, but for God to send me an angel to share companionship. Of course (as always), He hears your prayers and answers them, which is exactly what he did.”

SHE SAID
“I was considered a private, but community oriented person. If there was a means to support the neighborhood and its inhabitants, I was all over it. I dedicated time to helping young mothers and battered women, because I knew firsthand the trials of having children at a young age and domestic violence. I tried to be a voice for the people while striving for higher education. I was somewhat outspoken about things that were important to me, especially education, my faith and rearing my children. My focus was not on being in a relationship having been married before, and I certainly didn’t care about a criminalist trying to befriend me. After mental, emotional, physical and financial healing, all I wanted to do was serve God, get an education, progress in my career and take care of my children, period. At that time in my life, I considered being in another relationship too much work, and I did not want to deal with it while trying to rear my children.”
