We were together, I forget the rest.
With that Walt Whitman line, hand written on the last page of a scrap book documenting their years together, Nick asked his soulmate Michelle to marry him. Though they initially met at a bar down the shore, Michelle’s sister was dating one of Nick’s friends, it took more than one run in to connect but once the began to bond they never stopped thinking of one another. At the time Nick was living in Florida but he had no issues moving back to his home state of New Jersey for the woman he loved. We met up early on a Sunday morning to explore the area around their apartment and then cook a delicious breakfast, their weekend tradition.
