This past weekend, Santos had a conversation with his nurse that he wanted to marry his girlfriend he has been dating for three years. Just four days later, at Piedmont Columbus Regional, they were standing hand in hand.
“It’s just like a bucket list - I’m not looking forward to a lot of time on the Earth so it’s just something I’ve always wanted especially with the person I love,” said Santos.
