Kindred Spirits
In 2013, just before Tyler was about to embark on his second tour of duty in the Middle East, he was introduced to her. They were kindred souls because she also struggled with her own health issues. In spite of this, they continued to pursue happiness despite the obstacles that life presented to them.
According to what she said in an interview for the podcast Love What Matters, “We knew it would be hard, but we also knew that it would strengthen our relationship in ways that most people could never understand.” And, sure enough, it appeared as though they were headed in the direction of a happily ever after. However, new challenges continued to present themselves.
