For Christopher....

"Oh my love, for the first time in my life, my eyes are wide open..." --John Lennon

Our story is a unique one. We didn't meet like most normal people, for instance, through a friend, or at a bar, we actually met over the computer.

I know it sounds strange, but we weren't really looking for it to happen, it just sort of did. Chris and I met in a chat room. A few men were giving me a hard time in the chat room and he called the "cyber police" on them. LOL. Anyhow, i thanked him and we started to talk. We found that we had so much in common, we decided to become pen pals. There we were, on two different sides of the country, writing via e-mail. After several months of this, we slowly became best friends. I was struggling with personal matters of my own, and he was always there for me. I talked...He listened. I cried.....he comforted. He made me believe in myself, and to look at who i really was. I couldn't help but fall in love with him, and lucky for me, he felt the same way.

So we waited about 6 months and decided to meet. The moment I laid my eyes on him, I felt like I had always known him. (The hug he gave me was the most wonderful feeling i have ever felt, even to this day!) Magic, i guess some would call it.

Now a year and a half later, he is finally beside me. He packed up his car, left his family and friends, and drove over a thousand miles to a big city where he knew nobody but me. Some people think that romance is dead!

He has helped me to be stong, and not to be scared anymore. He supports me and stands behind me, when i really need him to. He makes me laugh for hours, and makes me actually "think". He is everything i have ever wanted, all wrapped in a wonderful package.
