“And while our families made their way to the church doorsteps to prepare to throw birdseed at us, we hid in the empty church sanctuary and I made Victor promise to love me forever. “Have a little faith in me,” he said with a proud smile.

You will be loved because for the first time in your life, you will truly not be alone. You will have chosen to not be alone.”
