He continued, “When you meet a person that you love, you want to do things for the other person. You have to open up. And the constant conversations we always had was — it is not always thinking about yourself, it is about companionship." Adding, "And that is something she taught me when she came into my life ... My life completely changed because I started looking at her and what can I do for her.” 

Congratulations to the growing family!
