Sometimes, we all just need a good cry.

The start of my relationship with my husband was tricky.

Princess Jasper, my soul mate dog, passed away unexpectedly after my third date with my husband. Although new in my life, my husband picked up all my shattered pieces and put me back together again.

He was the one who stopped me from turning to alcohol to numb my pain. He gave me a safe place to land during my darkest days.

Perhaps what confounded my feelings for him the most was how tears fell down his cheeks in unison with mine.

While I sobbed with grief, he sobbed with empathy, and our love blossomed.
