Sorry

It's been nearly one week since I last posted and I apologize. I have simply had a very busy week. Trying to complete this one particular chapter in my book has proven not only a trying expierence but very difficult. Re-write after re-write and I think I am finished with that section.

"Natalie" is all settled into her new home and she is doing well. I found myself singing to her the theme song from The Mary Tyler Moore Show....."You're Gonna Make It After All". She's "the mary" and I'm "the rhoda".

I am so excited about Valentines day. This is Mine and Marks first. Everyday this past week I have risen out of bed to find a little something special leading up to the day. Today, I awkoe to find this on the kitchen table. I just have to share it with everyone. I have never had anyone EVER write anything for me....on the contrary its usually the other way around. So, it sent me into "Misty City".

Good morning my partner in life,

I hope you slept well, and I hope you have a good day. I wish I had more time to write this, as it's been awhile since I've written anything. Excuse the fact that it needs refining ok?

So, here goes:

Until you...
I had almost given up.
I had come to the conclusion
there was no one out there for me

Until you...
I had almost said forget it.
no one wants me
except to use, abuse, lie to, and take advantage
and crush my heart and run.

Because of you...
my life has meaning again.
I've realized that you
are the exception of the rule.

Because of you...
I smile
I laugh
I melt
I cry tears of joy

Because of you...
I have hope
I have a dream
that dream is of you and me.

At first.....I took a chance
Offered you my heart
At first you relunctantly accepted
Since having been hurt before
Old memories and an unhappy relationship kept holding you back

Now you...
have proven to me
that you're heart is with no-strings attached.
except of course my love, monogomy and respect
of which you know you have.

Now I...
sit here misty eyed.
because I know it's true
you and I were meant to be together
Otherwise I would not be so in love with you.

Now I to you...
offer you my heart
my soul
my love
my everything.

Because...
that's what you are to me.


Have a WONDERFUL DAY honey. I love you.
