I have received information from the makers of TYLENOL®. The opinions stated are my own. This is a sponsored post.
I am so happy to be a part of the #HowWeFamily campaign with Tylenol. Tylenol has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My grandmothers used it with my parents, we use it with our children. 3 generations so far have all depended on the amazing qualities of Tylenol.
To celebrate all families, Tylenol brand has created #HowWeFamily that believes family is not who you love but how. That is so important to us to love who you love and be happy. I don't care if my child's spouse is man, woman, black, white, purple, green, or pink, small or tall; all I want is for them to feel as much love as they give.
What is your favorite love story? Who has made the biggest impression in your life? My favorite love story is for Aron and me. We lived in the same neighborhood as kids, he went to school with my sister I went to school with his brother, we didn't even meet, not once.
I moved to NC when I was 12 and never knew then that I was moving away from my soulmate.
I married and had my first child. I moved back to IL in my 20's and worked at a truck stop (A.K.A. Rat Trap) I didn't know it then, that I worked with his sister-in-law and her mom. I met his whole family. We never met, not once.
I divorced and moved back to NC away from him again. Again, not knowing that my true love was living life the same way; married with children of his own.
I remarried and had some hardships and moved back to live with my grand parents so I could get back on my feet. I did. All was well, I still didn't know him yet.
I moved into a tiny apartment close to my daughters school in the town over from my grandparents, I didn't know that that year would change my life forever. The neighbor on one side was Aron's father. My girls and I made him cookies and treat bags on the holidays. My neighbor on the other side was his sister-in-laws mother, the one I worked with all those years ago at the Rat. I lived there for quite awhile before I realized it was her.
I was diagnosed with cancer when I was 26. Scared, lonely, and a single mother of 2 beautiful little girls. Then it happened....
I went to the laundry mat one day. Still in pretty rough shape from the surgery. Red penguin pajama pants and a t-shirt. Trying to get done with my chores so I could go home and rest. I saw him. I fell in love with him that second. He was there with his brother and niece.
I still didn't talk to him until the neighbor across the street was having a house warming party a few weeks later. It was his other brother. We talked into the night.
A few months later I was driving and got a call, It was him!!! I didn't even know he had my number! We have been a family since my youngest daughter called him DaDa and we left, quickly. He called me later and asked why we left. I went back, we were a family. I love him with all of me. I couldn't imagine my life without him. It took 26 years of adventures to bring me to him, I wouldn't have it any other way.
This is our 7th year together. He has since adopted my youngest daughter and all of us together are a family. Thanks you so much #HowWeFamily for letting me share my story with you :)
Tylenol is a household word. I was given Tylenol as a child, use it as an adult and gave it to my children. Thank you for sharing your story.
ReplyDeleteVery nice blog
DeleteTylenol is so great. I have used it for many many years. I love your love story too. Glad it turned out so well for you. Here's wishing you all many more wonderful years.
ReplyDeleteTylenol get's rid of pain(s) and brings relief! I come from a family line that has needed to use Tylenol since childhood to the present time and I have to continue taking it to help ease that of life's present circumstances! That story is touching and inspiring - I was teased throughout my life (into the present) but I hope all of you have a magical holiday!

Great story! Sounds like when you had all these opportunities to meet him and you didn't, it wasn't the right time for y'all. Sounds like you found your soulmate!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great story! Funny how things have a way of working out.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a child I wasn't given Tylenol. I am unsure if it was even around back then! But I have given it to my children who are now grown
ReplyDeleteMy favorite love story is how I met my husband. That would be much too long to go into here, but let it be said that we are approaching 30 years.
ReplyDeleteWow, quite the path to your soulmate :) Tylenol is part of my family. I get really bad migraines and without Tylenol I would miss out on family time a lot.
ReplyDeleteTylenol is in our house. When my grandson's girlfriend was pregnant she would get headaches and Tylenol was all she could take. Your story was great and so heart warming. I married my soul mate but after 34 years he passed away.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it how funny that you were so close to each other's lives for years, but didn't actually meet until the time was right? It was similar with my husband and I and we've been married for 37 years.
ReplyDeleteThat's a sweet story, you never know what or who is just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteAs for Tylenol, personally I am less than impressed with my own experiences and always opt for ibuprofen. I feel like it just doesn't work for me! I have no idea why.
My favorite love story is how I met my husband, but it is too long! I will say that after close to 30 years, we are still happy with each other. I no longer can take tylenol products.
ReplyDeleteTylenol is much used in my house! It's a trusted brand that I grew up on!
ReplyDeleteWe couldn't survive without Tylenol!
ReplyDeleteWe trust Tylenol
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how life works...takes you where you're supposed to go so you meet the people that shape your life.

ReplyDeleteTylenol is the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your story with all of us! Tylenol has been in my family for years as well! Tylenol is the only over the counter pain medication that I will take because I know it works and I trust it! I give it to my kids as well! If you look in my medicine cabinet, you will always find a bottle of Tylenol! Thanks! Michele :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet story. I met my husband a couple days before I turned 20 in 2010. I found out we were both born in the same town in New Jersey, 6 years apart. He was born in 1984 and I believe he moved here to North Carolina when he was about 2.5 years old. I was born in NJ in 1990, and moved here to NC in 1998. We met in Raleigh, NC, in 2010. His grandparent's house was next door to my old elementary school. You can see it from the school. Some of his family when to school with my family. It's a small world! All that is a huge reason I believe in fate. We were meant to be together.
ReplyDeleteTynenol is the only thing I take for aches and pains. Ibuprophin is not good for you in large doses.
ReplyDeleteHave been using Tylenol with the baby girl for her fevers and severe aches from vaccinations and teething. So far it works well, I just don't like that it makes her sleepy. Good story btw!
ReplyDeleteTylenol gets used a lot in our house!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful story, thank you so much for sharing! My husband adopted my oldest daughter in much the same way so I can relate! :)
ReplyDeleteTylenol and Ibuprofen are great in emergency situations. Brings fevers down pretty well.
ReplyDeleteI used Tylenol and Ibuprofen for headaches when I was young. For minor headaches I now use lavender oil and have been for almost 30 years.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great life story! We use Tylenol all the time in my house and it seems to work for headache pain the best.
ReplyDeleteTylenol is the go to in our house. I feel I can trust the brand and it works!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful story! It's great!
ReplyDeleteWe always have Tylenol in our medicine cabinet. I love how you met your husband and you both found each other. You have to find it. No one else can find it for you.
ReplyDeleteAww, so sweet! I met my boyfriend of almost two years now through my brother because they were friends from school. I had pretty much given up on meeting someone even though everyone told me love would find me when I least expected it, I just couldn't understand how it happened like that. But it's true! If you're patient, it really does happen!
ReplyDeleteTylenol helps me make it through a day with less pain. I need to get surgery on my hip.
ReplyDeleteYour story is so awesome and amazing, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat story! Tylenol has always been in our medicine cabinet.
ReplyDeleteI always make sure to have some Tylenol in my bathroom cabinet! I think they're the most effective and most trusted!
