My son introduced you and Tom to me and my husband Roger about a year a year ago and we have been hooked since. I met my husband in 2016 and married my bestfriend in 2017. When you know you met. Your other half, you know. You and Tom remind me and my husband of us, but a younger version. I'm 55 and hes 51. People dont get it anymore what a true love relationship is and the time needed to make it through all the world has to throw at you. The music you two sing about is straight up truth. Something the world don't understand, only a rare few. I pray for you both. Keep expressing the truth as it truly is. Maybe just maybe people will open their eyes and wake the f*"#$ up. Keep doing what your doing!
