Imagine you’re deeply in love with a person. You’ve purchased a home together; you’ve picked out your furniture but before you even open the first box, the love of your life is taken from you by a stray bullet that ends their life.

In this episode, meet Vincent Perez, who had to find meaning to life after losing his fiancée, Shane Colombo to gun violence. Because despite losing the man he loved in such a tragic way, it’s this same fairytale romance - one that survived distance and unique circumstances - that keeps giving him purpose. Because regardless of how imperfect or difficult the situation may be or who we love - be it he, she, or they - everyone is deserving of being seen, being understood, and being loved.
