I “took him away”

No.

2009. I woke up, literally, and saw him in front of me. I was in the hospital with my sister who’d just given labor to a beautiful baby. We met and hung out I guess to help the new parents with the little things like getting diapers or coffee.  We went out, we danced, we hung out and I guess we fell for one another. … it was all a happy thing…

honestly, -& sadly, I can’t remember a period in which we didn’t have any problems.  I do remember that he was a man I admired and wanted to be around, a lot.
