To this day Michael and I will agree to disagree on who “felt” and who “said” I love you first - as for Michael I will leave his story to him to tell- as for me, I knew immediately.For as long as I could remember I have had severe anxiety, and Along with my anxiety I have always been overly shy so opening up to anyone was a huge struggle for me.From day one Michael made my heart and soul feel lighter, he could walk into a room and my anxiety would just disappear, he had become my safe place and my walking diary - not only can he take all my worries away , but he is the only person to come into my life that I can open up to about anything and everything, I swear he knows me better than I know me- kinda scary sometimes( lol.) But Michael has been so loving and patient with me, and on top of all my shyness and anxiety - he took on responsibility of my son as his own since day one. And because of that I knew what we had was rare- having all these peices twisted into one person I knew he was who I loved with my entire being, who I knew I wanted to spend forever with.

I knew from the first time I laid eyes on Melissa there was something special about her. The very first moment I met her I knew I had found someone that I could truly be happy with. The way she accepted my kids also showed me what a huge heart she had/has. Melissa is not like any other I have ever met, she was and still is a truly amazing person inside and out. But that’s how I knew, that immediate spark I felt between us was something special, I knew it was real love right from the start, and I knew she was the one who was meant to be in my life forever.
