I learned that he actually lives in Denver Colorado and he was just in town to see his cousin, Carlos, who lives in Houston. Although we were 1000 miles away, we kept in touch and talked all day every day. By the first week of talking, we had already known everything about each other as if we had known each other for years. Not long after, he had become my best…
