Cinderella is my most favorite movie, the handsome prince, the castle, the dress I love it all except the mice; I don’t like the mice. Before I could become a queen, however I had to do the hard work, and as a nurse that meant being transferred from one clinic to Deadmans Cay Clinic on South Long Island where I knew absolutely nobody. After slowly integrating into the community I met Nelson doing one of my favorite things- dressing up for Halloween at a party with mutual friends. On first meeting him, he was very nice and humble. After this initial meeting, we lost touch with each other for about a year. When we began hanging out again, I got to know the real Nelson - his past trials, his quirks, his pet peeves, and I bonded with his very shy princess, Victoria. Logan and I took a more slow and steady approach. Nelson is a person of few words, but he makes up for this with his actions. He is the epitome of ‘ I could show you betta than I could tell you.’ When he asked me to be his queen, I answered the yes with no hesitation, because I knew then that he was ready to build a life with me and the children. As with many relationships, our journey far from smooth, but I am excited to see how our family evolves when are joined together in marriage.
