After we met and I moved up to Virginia, we started dating. For us it seemed like we had never been apart. For our families it was another thing. No one could understand how we felt, they all thought and said in no uncertain words that we should take things real slow. But for us 20 odd years had been real slow, we would at times look at each other and just not be able to believe that we actually were together. It was as though the other person would vanish if you looked at them too hard. We had many emotions, sometimes even fear, yes fear. It felt has if we had been given this great and wonderful gift and it could get taken away at any moment. We questioned “what have we done so good and right to be given this gift of finding each other?” Neither of us could eat for almost a month, our tummy’s just butterflied (is that a word?) And Henry and I weren’t the only really happy people, my ex met a wonderful lady in July 2007 and married her on New Years Eve of that year. He has told me and many others that she is his perfect soul mate and that he is happier than he has ever been. So good things came all around. I still sit here in the year 2008 and wonder why were we allowed to meet again? We just feel so blessed. Does anyone out there know what I mean?
