Thanks for the visit... I love the roses... they are so pretty!
Well today is the day!
I feel so excited and yet so scared!
Second time around for both of us.
The news said that 60 % of all marriages fail…. I am really shocked cause all the second marriages I know of are working.
I know ours will also. We have lived together for 5 years. During those five years we both had some personal healing to go through.
What I love about my Charlie?
I love how he comes right home to me. He will say honey I need to go to the dump then run a few errands. Something that would have taken my ex all day and still be late for dinner.. Charlie just gets what needs to be done, done and then as he says, “home to my honey.”
I love how we can play all day sometimes and not tire. From gameboards to computer games, we can play as I did when I was a child, loving every moment.
I love how gentle this giant man can be. It amazes me that he doesn’t know his own strength and yet when he touches me it can be so softly. And there is the other gentle .. his heart.. I love to see him express his emotions… well ok the gentle ones anyway.
I love how he will say to me as I fall asleep, ”why you so beautiful?”
I love how he knows me. Most of the time I don’t even need to explain myself, course there are the duh moments and a gal would think why don’t you know that? Lol but sometimes he just amazes me with how deep he understands me.
I love how brave he is. He has had to face some very painful emotional scars and deal with them to be with me. He has had to admit that he is bi-polar and has to live with taking meds everyday. To face that if he misses just one it can trigger a manic episode which could lead to a psychotic one. And to do that would mean losing me.
I love how hard he fought off a manic episode at the beginning of this month. How he wanted to fight it off and was going to do anything that needed to be done. How he placed the phone call to the hospital and the hotlines. How he got himself to AA meetings and just plain talked to me and explained what was bothering him. How he got himself into therapy and asked to keep going. Gosh how I love him for that.
I love how I can cook a simple meal and he think it’s the best. How he will say he is a lucky man to have such a special woman that cooks for him. I melt everytime.
Well I could keep going on with the list of why I love him or I could start to get ready to marry him… hmmmm !!!! lol
Goodbye for now the next time I write in this blog I will be Mrs. Charles Ferry.
