In the bustling year of 2001, Sal and Dianna crossed paths at work. We were working in different departments, yet some days Sal would join Dianna in the Pharmacy. We immediately developed a great friendship and worked together in solving problems.

Through out the decade we have raised 3 amazing daughters, Alliyah, Deserie, and Izabella.

both felt an undeniable connection growing between them. Dianna marveled at Sal’s soft voice, finding it soothing and endearing, while Sal couldn’t help but be charmed by Dianna’s infectious laughter and the light that danced in her eyes.

Their first meal together was at a quaint little diner overlooking the ocean. Sal, being a connoisseur of burgers, indulged in a classic cheeseburger, savoring each bite. Dianna, with a penchant for bold flavors, opted for a spicy Mexican dish, her eyes lighting up with each delicious mouthful. Over lunch, they discovered more about each other’s tastes. Dianna preferred wine, a glass of crisp Chardonnay her usual choice, while Sal enjoyed the sharp tang of sour whiskey.

As their relationship blossomed, Sal often showcased his culinary skills, delighting Dianna with his kitchen creations. One of her favorites was his French toast, perfectly golden and topped with a generous helping of blueberry compote. Paired with freshly brewed coffee, it became their Sunday morning ritual, a symbol of the warmth and comfort they found in each other’s company.

Their taste in entertainment, however, showcased their differences. Dianna could watch "The Notebook" on repeat, her heart swelling with each romantic gesture. Sal, on the other hand, was a fan of "Goodfellas," drawn to its gritty realism and compelling characters. Despite their differing tastes, they often found common ground, appreciating the passion each had for their favorite films.

Music was another shared passion, and their first concert together was an unforgettable night. As the heavy riffs of Megadeth filled the arena, they reveled in the electrifying atmosphere, their hands intertwined amidst the sea of fans. It was a night that solidified their bond, a memory they would cherish forever.

However, like any couple, they had their challenges. Dianna often found Sal’s procrastination a point of frustration, wishing he would be more proactive. Sal, in turn, saw Dianna’s strict adherence to time management as something she could learn to relax about. Despite these minor disagreements, they worked through their differences, understanding that these quirks were just part of what made them who they were.

Years passed, and their love story continued to unfold. From the initial sparks at work to shared meals, favorite movies, and memorable concerts, Sal and Dianna built a life together filled with love, laughter, and mutual respect. Their journey was a testament to the beauty of finding someone who complements you, someone whose strengths balance your weaknesses, and whose presence makes life’s every moment richer.

In the end, Sal and Dianna’s story was not just about two people who fell in love. It was about two souls who found in each other a partner, a confidant, and a best friend. Their love was a melody composed of shared experiences, small gestures, and the unspoken understanding that they were meant to be together, through every high and low. And so, their love story continued, a beautiful tapestry woven with the threads of their unique, yet perfectly intertwined lives.
