Lee, congratulations! What a beautiful story.
I am a firm believer that when we open ourselves to good things (like love), then good things find us.
There was a boy in my past. He was the first boy I ever fell in love with, but alas, he was straight. It was a total unrequited love, yet we were extremely close as friends. We both moved to different states and lost touch.
I found myself thinking about him over the years and realized that I had been carrying this flame for him all these years. I did a lot of soul searching and decided that there was no need for this and that even if I ever saw him again, the person I was now and the person he was now would be so different that this flame was totally unrealistic. I dealt with that, put it behind me and decided that if I ever saw this boy again that we could be the good friends we started out to be without all the bullshit that caused me so much heartache in the first place.
So don't you know, I was at the AVN show and ran into a girl I hadn't seen in years. Turns out she had just started dating this boy, and we exchanged numbers. It's like I was not going to see him again until I was ready.
Just wanted to share.
