It's About Time: A True Story of Love, Loss, and Second Chances

By M.A. Stellen

Some love stories never fade - they wait.

Mark and Dawn first crossed paths as children in small-town Indiana during the 1980s, when life was simple, laughter was easy, and love was something that bloomed without warning. They grew up together - roller skating under neon lights, sneaking glances across the schoolyard, falling in love one summer afternoon before the world demanded they grow up too soon.

Then life happened.

Years passed. Mark built a hard life filled with long hours, heartbreak, and the chaos of a marriage that nearly destroyed him. Dawn, miles away in Kentucky, endured her own share of struggles - two broken marriages, three daughters, and a heart that never felt complete. They each carried on, never realizing that the love they'd shared all those years ago still quietly lived inside them.

Until one day in 2010, when a simple Facebook message reopened the door neither thought would ever exist again. That message became a phone call. The phone call became a visit. And the visit turned into a second chance neither of them saw coming.

What followed was a reunion decades in the making - filled with laughter, healing, blended families, new beginnings, and the kind of love that only comes once in a lifetime.

Surrounded by their children, family, and lifelong friends, Mark and Dawn finally said I do.
Their wedding cake said it best: It's About Time.

Spanning from youthful innocence to hard-earned redemption, It's About Time is a heartfelt true story of love lost, love found, and the unbreakable thread that can hold two people together even when life tries to tear them apart.
