Sorry, I overslept & just found this…
I was working with a guy whose brother had his own “chat group”. They ranted & raved about everything under the sun. Still, he’d share some of the funniest things that they had said to each other & they always seemed to show up at a time I most needed them!!! So, I followed them for a while & eventually joined the group. One member of the group had just received a brain cancer diagnosis & he needed a lot of attention due to his search for finding his peace with the situation. One day when he showed up, he was going on & on about a new site that he had discovered & he kept saying over & over that everybody needed to check out his new site. He was so adamant about the great site that I decided to visit & see what he found so exciting. It was one of those old social chat sites, but it was MORE interesting than the local chat group. My first night as an interested member, I met a man that intrigued me to no end. After talking to him for maybe a half hour, I found him to be charming, intelligent, funny, & he made my hard, cold heart go pitter patter…something that I thought had died years earlier. As he excused himself saying he had to leave because he had to go to work, he poofed off. I excitedly thought…I’m going to marry that man!!! Then I laughed at myself thinking You’ll NEVER meet him so you can’t marry him.
We continued to bump into each other over the next few weeks…getting to know each other better. Over the next year we became very emotionally involved. Still, I couldn’t bring myself to totally trust someone that I’ve never seen. I had been honest about the state I lived in always omitting the town I live in because, IF he made it to my town, it’s a short step to standing on my front porch!!!
I worked in a different state in a rather large city for this area. I go to lunch one day & I hear a familiar voice call out my name. I turned around & there he stood. The company he worked for was in the process of closing & they were offering jobs at various locations throughout the country & he had accepted a job in the same city where I worked not knowing that I worked there as well. We started out having lunches together & moved into having dinners together. Then we started finding activities over the weekends that we both enjoyed. We found that we had a LOT more in common as we got to know each other better!!! We eventually fell in love & got married. My first husband had been extremely abusive & his first wife treated him much the same, so we were BOTH pleased to be treated with RESPECT!!! Things were WONDERFUL for years…until he went to bed one night & didn’t wake up the next morning. He’s been gone for 15 years & I can still feel him & his love here with me!!! At the time that I met him, I had given up on the idea of “true love” & I still have “his love” with me although he no longer is!!! I have found PEACE in my life where there used to be nothing but PAIN!!! IF I were to die today, I’d die HAPPY!!!
My magic moment was being in the right place at the right time in order to be lead to the happiest moment in my life!!!
