The Day I Almost Lost My Man
This is the day it all began.
This very day 13 years ago, Mike asked me to be his girlfriend. One year after that, he said I love you for the first time.

She looked at me somewhat surprised and said, “You can talk about it? It hasn't been that long.” I thought for a moment about why that is. It’s not because I’m some strong person. It’s not because it wasn't hard or painful. It’s because God is a healer.
