I HAVE HAD SUCH A *****MISERABLE***** ELEVEN YEAR MARRIAGE THAT I ENDED MONTHS AGO, I AM JUST GETTING USED TO THE FACT THAT THERE ACTUALLY **IS** SOMEONE FOR EVERYONE. I WILL BE MARRIED SOON ( AGAIN) AND THIS MAN DOES HIS BEST TO GET ME ANYTHING I WANT OR NEED. HE REALLY CARES. I HAVE BEEN SO SO SO NOT USED TO THAT FOR SO LONG THAT IT IS ALIEN TO ME. IT FEELS WEIRD.

I AM "ALMOST" LEARY. HOWEVER I HAVE KNOWN HIM OVER A YEAR( LONG FOR ME, LOL) AND HE IS EXACTLY WHO HE PROCLAIMS TO BE, A REAL SWEETIE. WHEN I MET HIM IN PERSON, I SAID " HEY!!!! NO WAY, YOU LOOK 18 YEARS OLD AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE MISTAKEN FOR YOUR MOTHER!!! I HUGGED HIM AND HE SAID "I'LL FIX THAT. LOL". HE GREW A BEARD AND LOOKS THIRTYISH NOW.

I DON'T HAVE TO TELL HIM WHEN I AM SAD, HE JUST KNOWS. I DON'T HAVE TO TELL HIM WHEN I AM DEPRESSED OR WHY, HE JUST KNOWS. HE DOES EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO MAKE ME FEEL YOUNG, ATTRACTIVE, AND WHOLE. ALL THINGS I KNOW I AM NOT. BUT HE THINKS IT, OR MAKES ME BELIEVE HE DOES, SO THAT COUNTS TWO POINTS FOR EFFORT.

HOW CAN I GET SO LUCKY AT MY AGE?. A LESS THAN THIRTY YEAR OLD HUNKOLA WHO OWNS HIS OWN BUSINESS WITH NO KIDS ( LIKE ME) WHO LOVES CATS AND IS A GOURMET COOK,( LIKE ME) LOVES CLASSICAL MUSIC, IS A MUSICIAN( LIKE MYSELF), WILL SIT AND LISTEN TO BIG BAND FOR HOURS( LIKE ME), AND,

IS KIND HEARTED AND OVERLOOKS MY ANGRY TANTRUMS I HAVE HAD SINCE STROKE.

I AM WAITING FOR THE AXE TO FALL. THEN HE GOES OUT AND FINDS ME MY DREAM HOME ON ACREAGE AND ON THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN. THE VIEW ALONE IS BETTER THAN THE HOUSE. THEN, HIS FAMILY LOVES ME. ON TOP OF THAT, **MY FAMILY LOVES HIM***** THIS FEELS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. I FEEL LIKE CINDERELLA. I JUST HOPE I DON'T GO OUTSIDE AND FIND MY CARRIAGE TURNED INTO A PUMPKIN.

I AM SO SCARED. BUT, WHEN YOU DIE AND COME BACK, MEET SOMEONE IN A WEIRD WAY, WELL ONE HAS TO GO WITH IT.

THIS IS REAL REAL STRANGE. I HAVE TO SHARE IT.

WHEN THIS "PRINCE" FIRST SAW MY PICTURE ON A SUPPORT SITE, ( WE WERE ALREADY FRIENDS), HE WENT ON AND ON ABOUT HOW I WAS AN "ANGEL" IN HIS EYES AND HE HAD SEEN ME BEFORE. GET REAL, LINE CITY, RIGHT? I SAID, THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD HAVE SEEN ME BEFORE IS IF YOUR FAMILY OWNED A GARDEN CENTER IN SOMERSET, KY ON THE EIGHTIES. I WORKED THERE WITH MY FIRST HUSBAND IN HIS BUSINESS. LOL

WELL, HIS GRANDADDY OWNED THE GARDEN CENTER THAT WE HAD AS A CUSTOMER. I ACTUALLY REMEMBERED HIM THEN. TALL, SKINNY, CRIPPLED UP ( FROM HIS TBI) AND I ALWAYS GAVE HIM CHOCOLATE TOOTSIE POPS. MY EX USED TO SAY" THAT BOY HAS A CRUSH ON YOU". I WOULD ALWAYS SAY, HE IS SO SO SO SWEET AND PITIFUL AND TRIES SO HARD.

ONCE WE FIGURED THIS OUT AND VERIFIED IT THROUGH HIS GRANDPARENTS( WE COULDN'T BELIEVE IT), HE SENT ME A TOOTSIE POP HE HAD SAVED AND A PICTURE OF HIMSELF AT THE TIME. I CRIED. THIS HAS GOT TO BE FATE. THIS IS SURREAL. I KNOW, IT'S STRANGE, BUT VERY TRUE.

ANYWAY, THE MORAL OF THE STORY: IT PAYS TO BE NICE TO KIDS, LOL LOL LOL. THEY MAY GROW UP TO BE ABLE BODIED HANDSOME MEN
