Love is a bumpy road!

Whoever said that true love is a smooth road traveled, has never experienced true love in their life! When you truly love someone, you learn to accept all of their ways of being and every obstacle they experience in life, you make a choice to live and experience with them as well. There was a time in my life where my husband had a huge bridge to cross. I had to make a decision for myself as to how much I loved this man, and if this situation was something I wanted to deal with and live with.

Donald and I met at a very young age, as teenagers in 1994. Our feelings and emotions drew us close together. It was like the best high I can get without breaking any laws. At the time, I could not say it was love while entrenched in it; it was more like a strong, instinctive attraction. Love can make you feel crazy at times. It was very physical, but also calm, comforting, and mental. We did not want to be apart and could not live without each other. Being apart made us sick!! We loved each other very much.

Throughout the years, Donald and I as individuals grew together, apart, and back together again. During our break ups, there were other relationships. These other relationships, I think helped make our relationship stronger. They taught us how to appreciate, respect, trust, and honor each other. Our relationship had trying times, but our love for each other never died. We withstood many obstacles in the past and always overcame them, but I believe this was by far, the most difficult situation I had to overcome. This would be the one to determine our love for each other and relationship forever. A path that can only be described as true love is put to the test.

In February 2004, Donald and I decided to give our relationship one more go...

... and I wonder how he is doing. I know he’s grown so much by now and hope that he is ok. I also wonder if he will remember us…..

Ten years later, Donald and I are still together and in love. Friends and family are amazed at how that whole situation worked out for us and that we are still together after all of the obstacles our relationship has faced. We finish each other’s sentences, and call each other in thought. Just thinking of him, my phone would ring and it would be him. We talk about everything, even the little things that are not important. We laugh together and if I am having a bad day, he knows exactly what to do to bring my spirits up, and put a smile on my face. We do not go to bed mad at each other either. He understands me and gets me. He loves me for me, with all of my flaws, and I love him just as much. I honestly feel that I have found my soul mate.
