When we were at Meg‘s wedding reception, a question started circulating among our family and friends wondering which Heinisch would be the next to get married. Morgan, Brett, and Cal seemed the most likely suspects as they each had a serious boyfriend or girlfriend. I noticed that most of them dodged the question. Maggie gave the best response when she said that she was on a one to 10 year plan.
Halfway through the evening, I found out from Cal and Jayce that they had jokingly thought about having a common law marriage party on the weekend of August 24 as they would have officially lived together for seven years on that date. At that point, we just started joking that Cal and Jayce were the next to to get married. Aria, Jayce’s girlfriend, even offered to officiate.
Today, this picture showed up on my Facebook memories. I remember being incredibly sad when Cal posted it. I hated thinking that their last year in college was their final chapter of living together. At the time neither boy knew where they were going next or what their life would look like in the future. They didn’t even even realize that they would live through a pandemic together.
Who would have ever thought that those two middle school friends would have been together for four additional years after graduating from college. Their friendship has gotten them through so many tough times. They have also celebrated many milestones together. I couldn’t imagine one without the other. Outside of Nick, there is no one who has ever been as close to our family as Jayce. I am so happy that 2019 really wasn’t “the final chapter.”
