Wow! It's been one
year (January 16th, 1999) ... I have to say it's been the best year of
my life!! Never in my life would I have imagined what a trip to meet my
cyberlove would end up to be the most BEAUTIFUL!! For the first time in
my life I can trully say that I'm extremely happy. Over and over
I just think about the odds of John & I meeting and getting together!!
All my life I wondered
why did God chose me to be born with a craniofacial condition.. well..
God - THANK YOU! because now I know that because of it I met my husband!
I can honestly express that if I died today (not that I want to!) I would
die with a smile, as not too many people can say that they've lived to
feel the kind of love I feel for my husband and the kind of love my husband
has given me!
John.. Honey.. thanks
for being YOU.. for your sweet way of being, for telling me every single
day that you love me.. for waking up in the morning next to you.. for the
hugs, the snuggles, the kisses (the serious ones! You know what I mean!)
for the flowers, the cards, the nights out to dinner ... thanks for two
wonderful daughters (I hate the word step!) and for Robbie (our grandson!)
for my brother Bill and his family.. and all your family who've accepted
me and loved me in an overwhelming way! (Yes.. I am THEIR favorite! he
he he)
I love you John!! Thanks for a wonderful
year!
For
those of you.. who've read our story.. and ask yourselves how did we managed
to risk it all and love each other.. please read the following poem.. it
says it all!!
The Dilemma
To laugh is to risk
appearing a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing
sentimental.
To reach out for another
is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is
to risk rejection.
To place your dreams
before the crowd is to risk ridicule.
To love is to risk not
being loved in return.
To go forward in the
face of overwhelming odds is to risk
failure.
But risks must be taken
because the greatest hazard in life
is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing does
nothing, has nothing,
is nothing.
He may avoid suffering
and sorrow,
but he cannot learn,
feel, change, grow or love.
Chained by his certitudes,
he is a slave.
He has forfeited his
freedom.
Only a person who takes
risks is free. ~Anonymous~
