Dear my sweet Caroline! Today marks 9 years when I proposed to you! You had no idea this was planned. Before the proposal, you only knew this was a local concert and us eating dinner at Savor Coffee Bar and Eatery in Arlington, TX. I wanted to propose to you at a Lacey Sturm concert, but, we had no idea when was her next Dallas date during that time. We had no idea that we were one of Lacey's favorite couples until she posted a prayer request to her social media followers after you had pneumonia that Spring (2017). If I would've known that, I would've proposed to you at the January 28, 2017 TREES Dallas concert. Do I regret not doing it sooner? Yes! Especially when I found out (sometime after Lacey's concert) that you told me that Karla talked to the doctors during that one appointment, and told them that she would say yes if I ask her for her blessing for me to marry you, especially since your dad died in 2003, which was 11 years before I met you.
Not long after you were admitted to the hospital for pneumonia, Karla called me for something (that I can't remember while I'm writing this) and that's when I asked her for her blessing to marry you. She said yes with excitement! I was so relieved that she gave me a yes because I was so nervous during that moment!
Would I love to relive this day like the movie Groundhog Day? I definitely would! During our encounter while I was proposing to you, I was nervous that you would say no. Felt like I was overthinking something so simple, the outcome became better than what I thought during that time.
If you were still alive, I would still be holding your hand because you were my kryptonite and I was your superman. We were everything for each other because God knew everything before we knew because everything was in His hands and I feel blessed that I got to experience life with you. You were brave to continue to live, even though you had obstacles to go through health wise.
You never gave up on life because you knew you had more in you to live the life that God gifted you. I will be forever thankful that I got to experience life with you!
