Hey everyone!
I''ve been on these forums for a little while now - mostly lurking, researching, and educating myself. BF and I have been together for what will be 5 years in December. Though I don''t think getting engaged will happen until sometime mid next year, (at the earliest), I figured a little request for dust wouldn''t hurt!!
As for a little about our current situation, we live together and have for a couple of years. He just finished his Engineering degree last year and I am still in college. We had actually planned to get engaged earlier this year due to a "family emergency". Sort of hard to explain but as a quick recap... my Grandmother who is like my second mother was diagnosed with a very aggressive stage 4 cancer and there were no more treatment options available. We hoped to be able to have her see us get engaged as that was something very important to her as well as myself. We planned it to be around August/September with a temporary ring that would be upgraded sometime down the line. Unfortunately we weren''t able to make that happen. I received a call while on vacation that I needed to come home. That was July 26th. She passed away on July 29th at the age of 75. However, my incredibly kind, sweet, and caring BF decided on our last day seeing her to get her blessing which she of course obliged! He said that she said that the only thing she wanted was to see me happy, cared for, and for us to get married.
I''m sorry for the sappy story. I miss her a lot and am so thankful to know that I will be marrying the most amazing man I could possibly dream of - and that she agrees that he is just as amazing as I say! Plus, I know when I do get engaged, she''ll be the first to know
So anyway, thanks for reading and I hope to get to know this group of wonderful ladies more. Dust to all!!!!
