I was at work the night if June 1st, 2018.

I worked in a hospital, and I was on the 8th floor when I got a text message from an unknown number. I asked who it was and i got a picture message of one of my best friends from my childhood. I grew up with her and her brother, and we hadn't spoken in 5 years. This was someone who I always wanted to be with, but the opportunity never came up. We started talking 5 years ago, and it just wasn't the right time.
So, we talked for the rest of the night and eventually, she said: "I'm coming to see you". About 30 min later, she arrives and we meet in the parking garage. I hugged her for the first time in 5 years, and all my troubles were washed away. Since that night, it's all changed.
We continue talking, but I have to leave to go to a work seminar. I hug her, and I thought it was the last time. Something in my head said "kiss her" and as I took a step away, I just said "okay", turned and kissed her. I've never felt so happy in my life. And from that moment on, my life has been amazing.
We are married now, and I finally got to be with the love of my life. I'll never forget that night.
I was in a very abusive relationship, physically and mentally. I was with someone for 3 1/2 years that cheated on me every step of the way, and we even have a child together.

But now everything is so much better, thanks to my wife.
