Barbara/ true love

Well Barbara I come from a very dysfunctional family of 6 brothers and 2

sisters and I have had 2 WONDERFUL HUSBANDS that both loved me more than I did.

Let me tell you about them.

The first was my first husband and he treated me like a queen the way we

met was I worked in a store he delivered to and one day he handed me a note that

said " I CAN HELP " that's all it said and his phone #. Well at that time in my

life I was going thru some really hard times and I was a complete mess but all

day I kept saying who is this guy how can he help me he doesn't even know me and

I can't help myself. Well that night I called him and said ok how can you help

me ? He came to my house on his Harley son motorcycle (which I now love to

ride and had 2 of my own) and first he took me for a ride and pointed out all

the beautiful things we all forget to look at like the sky, the flowers and

trees and the ocean then we stopped and had coffee and he told me if I trusted

him he had some women friends who could help me since I felt so good I said ok.

he took me to this group of women in a 12 step program and they helped me get my

life back. Afte! r that he and I married and had a wonderful life b'c he said

even at my worst he saw the inner beauty and knew I was struggling and he knew I

needed to find it in myself. A few years later he got cancer and he handled it

so special. At one point he told me he felt sorry for me because I had the hard

part and it wasn't fair he got the easy part. I was confused and said what? he

said yes I have the easy part all I have to do is die and You will have to go on

living and truer words were never spoken and b'c he had taken the time to bring

me to help he in the end gave me the strength to get thru anything. This man

taught me how to live and he taught me how to die. I use to be so afraid of

death but I was with him and when he died I could see he was at Peace and that

there was nothing to be afraid of.

Sorry its so long .....But b'c of him I am able to see the good in people even

when they can't and I truly know EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON... Good and Bad

Thanks Kathy
