"Not the first date, but the moment I knew I was gonna marry this man…
We went grocery shopping. It was about 9pm, we had both just been paid. The young lady in line in front of us had a very young baby, and was paying with WIC coupons and a food stamp EBT card. Her total came to about $22, and she was holding a $20. She looked dejected, and put back the one and only thing that was probably her splurge, a candy bar and an energy drink. Other than that, she had baby food, diapers, chicken, rice, bananas, formula, wipes, the bare minimum. I turned around to tell my now-husband to hand me my wallet…
I didn’t have to. He already had his out, took out a $50 hill, handed it to her and told her to keep the change. He changed her week, he changed my life. That was THE moment I knew he was it for me."
