You and Joel met young—nothing planned, just two people figuring life out when Sarah came along. You stayed, even when it got hard, and built a quiet, steady life together. Joel wasn’t big on words, but he showed love in the way he worked, protected, and always came home. You balanced him—softer where he was guarded, steady where he was restless. Maybe not fireworks, but something real. Solid. Built over years of late nights, shared struggles, and a little girl who made you a family.
