Where do I begin? Well, I feel like my journey to find love has been far from ordinary. I’ve never been one to shy away from risk, often preferring to create my own fresh set of footprints on this road less traveled. I’m an adventurer at heart, but little did I know how this journey would end nor the challenges I would face along the way. But I guess that’s the point, isn’t it? We’re not supposed to know how it ends... just expected to muster up enough courage to begin... and to keep going when times get tough. And trust me when I say... this has been tough. I leaned on my supporters to help heal the wounds left behind from my critics. Those overly eager to pass judgement and click rather than take time to understand another’s plight. I don’t harbor any ill will towards them for they just don’t understand. At first, sifting through the “real” from the “fake” was a challenge... that is until it became habit. After that, my path became clear. I’m thankful for this... because that path led me to you Miss Maltby. A most beautiful gift that I’ll never feel quite worthy of but one that I’ll never take for granted. Danielle carries a kind of love that most never find. It’s deeply embedded in her and something she generously hands out to everyone she encounters. You can feel it when she enters the room. It’s magical... I’m lucky. She cares for me in a way that’s hard to explain. She’s gentle, empathetic, funny, beautiful and incredibly smart. We share a tragic past that we will carry with us forever but one that will never define us. As we look into our rear view with a smile and anxiously await what lies ahead, I now know for certain, I’m glad to be walking down this road less traveled with you. So where do I begin? How about take my hand... after all its just the beginning... I love you Dani. Time to light a fire with the love they left behind ❤️ PS- it’s been an honor sharing a piece of our life with you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. #bachelornation #bachelorinparadise #love #loveafterloss #gratitude
