It can happen to you

Tweet

I never thought dreams could come true, or at least not for me. We all have our stories, we loved, we hated, we all have been hurt one way or another. Mine probably isn't much different then anyone else's. In some ways we all have one thing in common, and that would be "It could happen to you." About a year ago I was fighting to get out of an abusive relationship that had lasted eight years and four children. As any other woman I had many reasons to be scared of leaving. However I found strength and I left...or tell truth I made him leave. But I was still scared, being a single parent of four children. My oldest daughter was very angry and very hurt. Children just don't understand. I was working as many hours as I could, so not much time was left to spend with them. As the story moves on, my oldest went to live with her father. He at the time was many miles away from me. But I thought that if she had the chance to be with him....well then maybe she would realize that she still had both of us. Things got harder, and I wasn't sure how I would make through all this. Many lonely nights, many painful days.......but I made it. I did with help though. I had just gotten back from taking my oldest to live with her father when I decided to get on the computer. Weeks prior to that day I had put a personal add in yahoo....hopeing to find someone who would understand me. Maybe just a pen pale or someone who would turn out to be a friend. I was getting many replies, but men out there can be so cruel. I had decided to take one more look and if I found nothing interesting I would take the add out. There were many in there that day....but only ONE that stuck out. The reply was simple........it stated just this "So you are an Aries huh?" Well, my thought was someone simple.......I liked it. He left his email address and I wrote back. With in seconds I recieve another email. Spent many days talking to this man that was stationed out of the country. So I thought I had the perfect pen pale. Surely I wouldn't have to worry of a relationship.......for he was not even in the same country as I was. However days moved on, time continued......and I hardly left the computer. I couldn't help it. Talking to him was the greatest thing in my life out side of children. We had so much to say. It was way too much fun. I finally gave him my number and asked that if he ever felt lonely for him to call me. I never thought we would ever meet. He was from one state and me from another. Not to mention he was suppose to be out of the country till that following November, and it was only July. That didn't stop. He called every day to talk me. He claimed to just hear my voice. We talked about every thing. There wasn't a limit to where the conversation would go. Before I knew I was in love with a man I never met. To make this story even harder....he was a married man. I was in the wrong to love him.......but I couldn't stop it. He was the most wonderful person I had ever met. And the idea of loving someone just made my heart thump for joy. How could I forget something like that? I couldn't. So here it was November.....and the greatest thing happened. HE LOVED ME TOO!! I was overwhelmed with joy. I couldn't believe it had finally happened to me. But...WAIT! One more problem....he is from one state, and I from another. He was still married and had two children to consider. I had four. No......that didn't stop us. He came to see me. It was like we had known each other all our life. I was so happy....I never wanted to end. It didn't......not a day went by that it didn't feel like love. He came back for two weeks in December. He left two days before Christmas.......then it happened. Christmas night he called and told me to give him the word and he would come sweep me off my feet. So guess what? My responce was "WORD". He was there the next night. I left my home, my mother my friends. Not day has gone by that I have not been happy that I took such a risk. I am with him....we are going to have a baby....and I am so in love with him. I have a family that I thought I wouldn't ever have. I have man that treats me like gold. I have friends.....but most of all.......I HAVE A NEW WORLD. It can happen to you. I thank GOD, yahoo, the internet, and the man that made it all possible. Thank you all......
