One Year

I was just thinking about what I was doing a year ago at this time. Things were really different around here. Just out of an addictive relationship, trying to love being with myself and finally understanding who I am and what I want, this guy contacted me through a dating website. (YUCK-I first thought.) We emailed a few times. Exchanged pictures. Exchanged phone numbers and started talking pretty casually. I remember thinking this is nice. No expectations, no talk of being together or even meeting. Just a nice voice to talk to once in a while. We did not meet until two months later.

Little did I know...a year later here we are. I am grateful I gave him a chance. I am grateful I stopped allowing fear to keep me from taking a chance. I am grateful my Father in Heaven loved me enough to not give up on me and felt I also deserved to have my prayers answered.

I love you Abete. Thank you for being who you are. You are not perfect, but you are perfect for me.
