This is Some Life

We've Met! We've Met! We've Met!

I phoned her as I was approaching and we agreed to meet at the end of her street. Her Ex was there picking up her eldest daughter (she does not want to come to Australia so she is moving in with her gradparents). We decicded that our first physical meeting was a little private. We didn't really want an audience.

Now before I tell you about that meeting, let me fill you in on my state of mind at the time. I had a three hour drive and my mind raced most of the time.

What if she didn't like me? What if the pictures she had sent weren't her? What if the person I fell in love with wasn't the person I was meeting? What if when we first saw each other, there was no connection?

so what does my brain do? It starts looking for an exit strategy . About an hour out I pulled up to fill the car up and had a cup of coffee whilst I mulled things over. In the end it all came down to one thing; I loved her and she loved me. It was that simple. The rest of the drive wasn't too bad.

Sometimes, too much time to think can be a bad thing.

That's all for now more later...

...

Oh, you want to know how the meeting went . Oh if you must.

Well I pulled up at the end of her street and parked just around the corner. I quickly peeked around and saw her walking up the street. At this point all I could make out was that she was coming. She was too far away for me to make out any details. Satisfied that she was actually coming. I went and leaned on the car to wait.

A minute or two later she walked around the corner. As she came around the corner and saw me she smiled. At that instant, I "knew" we were meant to be together. My heart melted. I don't think it is possible to describe the feeling of pure joy when I first held her in my arms. We clung together like we were never gong to let go. Neither of us wanted to. I don't know how long we held each other. Possibly only a minute or so, but it felt like forever. A pure moment in time. One that neither of us will ever forget.

I think John Michael Montgomery sums it up nicely:

I've never seen blue eyes filled with so much love
I never thought I'd find out what I found in your touch
Someone up there must like me 'cause I'm
Lookin' at the proof there's no doubt about it
Heaven sent me you

I'm here for another week. I don't know how I'm going to be able to leave...
