Love happens unexpectedly – it can strike like lightning in the middle of the grocery store or grow after a few months of texting and sending funny dog videos to each other. Another great thing about loving someone is bonus people who come as a package – a hilarious grandma, handy uncle, loyal friends.
In Tony Thomas’ case, he got six new kids when he met his future wife, Lexy. The bond they formed was so strong, he decided to adopt them so they all could share the same surname as well as the unconditional love.
Tony was looking for love and found a whole lot of it when he met Lexy and her six sons
When people fall in love, they see the world through rose-tinted glasses, believing that the relationship will last forever. Sadly, that is not the case – according to statistics, 50% of first marriages will end in divorce or separation. Lexy divorced the father of her six wonderful sons – Elijah, Isaiah, Ethan, Sheldon, Simeon, and Iridius. Despite being hurt in the past, she believed that true love was still waiting for her, so she decided to give it a try and signed up to an online dating website.
Unbeknownst to her, on the same site, Tony was looking for his soulmate. When he connected with Lexy, they hit it off instantly, chatting online for hours, strengthening their bond over the same values and same sense of humor. One day, they decided it was time to meet each other, to hear how their crush sounded in real life, relish in their laughter and see how the color of their eyes changed in the sun.
