Both working long hours and being on call 24/7 was something we both had in common as well as our line of work. We were in management, no strangers to long hours, paperwork, dealing with employees as well as the public.
We emailed before meeting. Being wintertime we dealt with ice storms and other chaotic weather. The week leading up to our meeting I had ended up sleeping in my office at work due to an ice storm which kept cars from handling the winding, steep hill roads that I lived on.
We spent a lot of time online together. He had wifi at home, my link to the outside world was my laptop tethered to my cellphone. During the worst of the weather we emailed all evening to each other.
Our early relationship consisted of hundreds of emails which I saved in a file on my computer.
For his birthday this November, I am making a scrapbook. It will be filled with all of our emails and photos, starting with our very first ones and going up until we moved in together and got married.
I think that it will be something special that he will really enjoy.
He is a true romantic. From the very beginning he would bring me flowers. He still does every other week. Within hours of each date, he would get in touch to tell me how much he enjoyed our time together and to make plans for our next date.
He loves me in ways that I have never been loved or cared for before. I am treasured, loved and adored. He tells and shows me each and every day. Phone calls, texts, treats, trips, dinners out, presents, hugs and kisses are all part of the ways I am shown of his love. Sometimes he sings to me.
I was healthy when we met. My illness occurred after we were married. His love for me has grown and strengthened through this time. He is so extraordinary, steadfast in his love. I am so blessed and privileged to have this amazing man in my life. He owns my heart and soul, as I do his.
