We met at a basic computer hardware course..how to install motherboards, hard drives, etc. It never occurred to me that it would have been a place to meet a guy. I was more concerned about buying my lst computer and how to maintain it, add to it, etc.

I've said enough about him in this forum before. so better with a vignette that exemplifies him as my partner:

He doesn't enjoy dancing cause he's just like me..lousy.

But what makes up for this...he waits for me ..in the rain with his bike when I finish work. That was today...and it has happened several times in past few years. And I insist that he phone me in advance if he feels like not coming.

He comes...it's an excuse for exercise for him.

What more can I ask..!

Thanks Mama, you know if I hadn't found my Dad, I wouldn't have found Will and I wouldn't have found BWS. 12 years of determination to find him paid off bigtime.

Orchid, you weren't looking either huh?
Who maintains your computer now?

Chickadee great story, love the new picture too!

Dotsie, yes, that was the last time mom and I lived in the same state.

MamaRed, love your booklet idea. I had one bad experience with husband #3...He was as lousy as the first two were good. Guess I should have quit while I was ahead.

There was a lot more to my story but it would have taken much too much space and so I gave you the highlights.

Gims, he was nearly 19 years my senior and he died of natural causes. Years of smoking and drinking didn't help I'm sure, and in case anyone is wondering, he wasn't a drunk, well sometimes but usually a happy one.


This is an awesome thread dancer, great idea...

Hi Chatty Lady

Thanks...I can see how much fun it would be to hear the stories...so inspiring and heart warming! My number 3 (my current husband) is an amazing man and has the other 2 beat hands down. My first husband was a nice man...who didn't feel comfortable sharing his emotions (I'm sure he had them...or at least I think he did!), my 2nd husband was abusive...and I took it, much to my shame, for almost 10 years. Gil has his own stuff and is also a very gentle hearted man I call my Gentle Warrior.

I, too, have more to the story and figured I had written enough! Grin....

Thanks for starting this thread Dancer...way kewl!

Interesting how the paths we take, when reviewed from a new place, lead us to where we are now. And how if even one thing had been done differently, we wouldn't have things like a story to tell about an amazing relationship with your Wil and my Gil. I LOVE to hear people's life stories precisely for this reason...the twists and turns and choices are utterly fascinating.

Chick, that was one of the sweet stories I've ever heard! I can tell you and your husband love one another very much.
And yes, I believe you can find your soul mate, and you did!
Bless both of you,
Dancer

Thank you, I am truly blessed. I pray we have many years together.
My pic is me at a young age. I dug it out the other day and was amazed how much my grandson looks like me.
Let's hear some more stories.

cute pic, chick
