His identify is Thomas, and I couldn’t have sketched a greater accomplice for those who’d given me a clean piece of paper and a Sharpie and mentioned, “draw the man of your dreams.” While I may listing the numerous the explanation why Thomas is a superb man (he is superb wanting and a formidable soccer participant!), what I like most about him is how he makes me really feel once we’re collectively: protected, safe, revered, cherished. He can also be loopy about Mazen, and Thomas’s household has been so fantastic and welcoming to Mazen and me.
And nothing has modified <3 Marrying him was one of the best choice of my life.
