I found that I can still love passionately, and found someone who loves me equally passionately. I found happiness, a real, whole, and complete happiness. I found understanding and an opportunity to understand in return. I found myself loved and not judged. I found an amazing male role model for my boys and the possibilities of a healthy marriage in the future for my daughter to be molded by. I found someone I can respect, and who respects me. I found someone who finds passion in his life. Someone who cherishes me. Someone who happily sits between two of my kids at Mass so that there is an adult separating all three. Someone who goes to Mass with me whenever I want to, even if its not a Sunday or Holy day of Obligation. Someone who will be my pillar of strength when I feel I haven't a shred of my own left. Someone who does make me laugh when I'm crying, and who can cool my hot anger with the slightest touch. Someone who has accepted my children with open arms, and loves the individuals they are. Someone who is open to life. Someone who is stable in his own life. Someone who can stand the life of a midwife (well this is yet to be tested LOL!). Someone with patience to match my own. Someone who thinks he can share me, happily, with the whole village of women, children, and families who I live and breathe to serve on a day to day basis. Someone who respects my dreams and ambitions for my future.
In March I wondered if that someone even existed. I wondered if it might just be too much to ask. But I knew that it was what I wanted, so I put it out there. And it's exactly what I found.
