“From when I met her, it was like meeting my soulmate.”

Rashad met LaCoria in the store; he then got her number and left his phone. She brought it to him, and both their lives changed for good.

That’s when he saw LaCoria. Drop dead gorgeous, nice and gracious – these were the first things that came into Rashad’s mind upon laying eyes on her. “I was mesmerized,” he said. From that moment on, it was apparent that he had met his soulmate.

Incapable of comprehending her beauty, Rashad acted unlike himself in that moment. He deemed it a favorable idea to lie about his age which she quickly found out – she thought it was funny, however. Today, they still laugh about it together.

Since then, they went on to experience many amazing moments together, the best ones being spent with their children/stepchildren, Kamryn, Kaylee and Jaylon. Rashad has had the pleasure of watching LaCoria be the world’s most incredible mother to them.

LaCoria cherishes time spent with the kids and Rashad admires how much she loves them even when they aren’t all hers. It’s just a testament to how loving, caring and thoughtful she is among many other qualities.

Rashad admires so much about LaCoria that the list is endless: her beauty, positive demeanor, and smile light up a room. In addition to that, Rashad loves how she always explains things to him, includes him, has his back when he’s busy, and goes above and beyond by doing little things to help him in times of need.

To this day, Rashad finds it hard to believe that someone as spectacular as LaCoria would have interest in him. She actively inspires Rashad to be a better version of himself by lifting him up and bringing a contagious energy that is unmatched. Simply, “nobody does it like Co-Co,” he said.

While Rashad looks forward to the rest of their life together and many more amazing moments such as watching movies late at night, competing in card games and watching her move at her daily routine each and every day, he dreams about marrying her.

“I wish I could go ahead and marry her,” Rashad admits. However, he thinks so highly of LaCoria that he would rather wait until he can provide her the wedding of her dreams because she deserves that, and everything more. “Hopefully it’s soon,” he concludes.
