Scrambling to pack my things i knew today was the day and i wanted to be ready. It had only been a week or so but i was dying to see him. But there was something different about this time. Today was the day i would meet his son. I was nervous but trying not to let it bother me. I told myself id just go for it and let it play out how it was meant to. My phone buzzed and i knew it had to be him. “Goodmorning my love, we are headed that way”

I took a breath and l went outside for a cigarette to ease my nerves. “Stay positive, relax” i told myself. The dogs start to bark alerting me of his arrival. I finish packing my things as he comes in.

I turn around and he wraps me in his loving arms and greets me with his warm sweet kisses. This man is truly a blessing. “Lets go get some breakfast, are you ready?” he says smiling at me. Returning the smile, trying to hide my nervousness I turned to walk out the door. We get to the truck and he opens the back door to put my bag in the truck and introduce me to his pride and joy. We get to the restraunt and as we are telling the waiter our order a familar tune catches my ear. I look to my man and smile in shock. I knew that was a good sign. We finish our food and head to their home. We get there and i am introduced also to his animals. The nerves come back but i brush them off. Next i get a tour of the house. i can tell my man has worked very hard for this house and he takes pride in it. The house was beautiful and it had a warm feeling to it. I unpack my bag and ask his son if he wants to go play in the back yard. We talk a little about ourselves and try to get to know one another. His son is very welcoming and cheerful, which calms my nerves a little. After a few hours of chatting with him he looks at me and says “will you be my friend?” With a big smile and a warm heart I responded “of course” i knew in that moment that everything was falling into place. One person became two when i met this amazing man, two became three when i met this sweet little boy. I am so blessed and happy to be a part of this home.
