Most Blessed

 

We almost didn't meet. After months of sporadic communication both of us were at the point of concluding maybe we wouldn't be able to work together. But every time I thought and prayed about it I couldn't shake the feeling that going to Florida was what I was meant to do.

After just three days I realized that I was starting to really like Gary. Go slow, I told myself. He probably doesn't feel the same. I'd spent years falling for people far too quickly only to find that it wasn't reciprocated.

Even when I realized he had feelings for me, I tried to warn him of my tendency to go too fast. "I get attached too quickly," I told him expecting him to back away.

"Get attached to me," he said, and I did.

I was at a point where I was ready to settle. Just tired of being alone. I didn't expect to find someone so perfect for me, or for it to happen so fast. But right away we both knew that finally we've found what we wanted and were looking for in each other.

I need him to be strong, to motivate me. I need his drive and his vision. He needs my patience, and caring. It's such a wonderful thing to need each other.

I am the happiest and most blessed woman in the world.
