I love romantic stories and would love to hear how you and your partner met.
I met my husband online. This is the BEST decision I ever made in my life. He is the nicest person I've ever met.
Matt and I started talking while my Dad was sick and at the time dying. I would talk to him about taking care of him and different symptoms that would appear. I didn't realize how serious it all was until basically the week it happened (my father's death). Matt said that from what I was telling him that he didn't think it would be long, but didn't want to mention it to me. He volunteered to come help me in any way he could. Of course, that was too scary for me at the time and wouldn't think of it.
Matt has been my lifeline and I don't think I could have made it through those last terrible times that I had in my life without him.
When my Mom had died in 1996 my divorce was just going through. I felt so terribly alone during this time of sorrow. I prayed and asked the Lord for a good man. One that would just fall head over heels in love with me...one that I could just be myself with and have fun. With all the trauma from the death, the divorce and pressures at work, I just seemed to gain weight gradually and also prayed for someone to just love me for me. I didn't have the emotional capability at the time (I feel) to have worked on anything other than getting through each day -- making it home and waking up again to go to work. Life was on automatic pilot. My life felt so traumatic. I finally felt those words I'd always seen "Life is fragile; handle with care". Life was fragile. Life would never be the same.
Four years down the road I met Matt online discussing a church we both had attended while in Pensacola, Florida. Our chats were funny and I'd laugh outloud at some of the things he said. We cut up and just had the best of times. He was my bright spot in a world of a sick father. There were a lot of things I had to attend to and having Matt as a friend helped me make it though each day. There were many nights spent at the hospital or runs to the ER that left me physically and emotionally drained.
My father passed away in April 2000 and Matt and I finally met in July. He was a ray of sunshine in my cloudy life. There was hope for the future. I took him to the French Quarter, then to Cajun Country in Lafayette and after a week he had to leave. I felt like I had known him my whole life and cried when he left.
Matt returned by the end of August and we were married on September 29.
Ah! The joy of living. First he became my best friend and then he became my husband. There is never a dull moment with him around.
He's the best thing that's ever happened to me. He is my blessing from above.
