I never thought I would marry. My mother (who raised me) has been married 5 times, and I was sure that if I married I would have a similar track record. Even after 2 kids from a long, emotionally twisted relationship, which only solidified that I didn't want to marry anyone. I was 30 when I met Valerie. She was ending a terrible marriage, and I was NOT looking for love. But the first time I kissed her, I knew she was the one. I know it sounds cheezy, but it is true there was a spark in my heart that I thought could never be struck. It has been 5 years. I know that's a drop in the bucket to most, but for someone who swore to never get married, it is a testament to how this woman has moved me. Totally not my "type", red-haired, porcelain skin, green eyes. This woman is brilliant, and funny, and sexy, and silly, a great cook, and she puts up with my ass. I too, truly married up!
I cannot imagine my life without her. I buy her flowers about once a week, for no other reason than to make her smile. She has stuck with me when any other woman would have run away. I have a truly crazy "babies mama" who has done everything in her power to destroy my marriage. The psycho figures, if she can't have me, nobody will. This has only strengthened our bond, because I know if we could make it thru what we have, we could make it thru anything.
Thank you very much Angel! You remind me that you can never say "I love you!" too often.
