Emelin’s #BeThereStory

Met this guy in a dark parking structure, thought he was a homeless/burglar so I got in my car and held on to my pepper spray. At the time of my life when I met this person, I went through rapes, drug and alcohol abuse problems that same year I was going down hill. Long story short, we exchanged numbers, I kept turning down his invites to go out or come over. Finally came over. I felt comfortable and happy again. We were talking like we knew each other then we went on an adventurous round trip for New Years Eve to New York. We came back and I continued to see him, we were undetachable. Then February came and I found out I was pregnant and now we are parents of an amazing baby boy. This man did a great change in my life, and I can’t thank him enough.
