True Love

I have been consumed by negative thoughts over the last while, as you can tell by my blogs. I have many dark clouds still circling overhead. I was very recently reminded how much that I am loved, and it has made all the difference in the world. I know right now, and forever will know that I have things to be thankful for. I have two AMAZING children that fill my soul with warmth and love. I have an UNBELIEVABLE family, and INCREDIBLE friends that all would tear their right arm off for me. The thing that brings me to this keyboard at this very moment pertains to someone else. I would like to take a moment to talk about my Jilly. Until I met her, I never understood what true love was, or more importantly that it even existed. I have only known her a short time, by earthly standards, but believe me when I tell you, our souls have been connected for an eternity. Words will never accurately describe what she means to me. As i mentioned earlier, there are a lot of dark clouds lurking, and they have been for some time now. I am moving in a positive direction, and I see those clouds clearing day by day. Despite the fact that my emotions whirl, and my brain questions, she continually provides me with love and understanding. Neither of us are, or desire to be, perfect by any stretch of the imagination. She, quite simply put, is the other half of my soul. I have never known what it was like to have this type of security and confidence in my life. I am still trying to adjust to it quite frankly. I have always been, and will continue to be a "giver". It is just part of my personality, I am a fish after all. I guess that it stands to reason that givers tend to attract "takers", and when you attempt to build a life with a taker, and you are strong and stubborn, and give, and give, and give ... quite frankly after awhile you begin to think that may quite simply be your destiny. I am VERY happy to report that that is definitely not the case. This wonderful woman, who came out of nowhere, (with a little help from SRYS) has given me the greatest gift that I could ever imagine....

Her LOVE, true love, and I will forever be a stronger, and better man because of it.
