You see Chris and I met, back in 2000, online, in a small chat room, ran by Talk City. At the time that was the only place where you could chat if you had WebTV (the crappiest of fake computers). At the time he lived in Alabama and I live (still live) in Missouri. WAIT, don't think that this is an online relationship that's just asking for trouble, you see even though we met online, he had friends who were from Missouri, and in late 2000 he came up to visit them, while in the process met my family and me. Don't get me wrong, I had a crush on him when we first met, but neither of us pursued anything, other than friendship. Chris and I had remained friends, talking here and there, for 4 years, before even considering a relationship. Of course we also had the typical year of not hearing anything from one another, for he was involved with someone, and as was I. See? neither of us believed in hurting anyone that we were with, and whom we thought we loved. In February of 2004, I was going through a pretty tough relationship with a guy I had been with for a little over 7 years off and on. Chris knew the guy, but didn't have much use for him, I know why now. Oh, don't get me wrong, my ex is a good guy, he's just got his own personal issues that he needs to workout before getting involved with anyone seriously. Chris told me that he was going to sweep me off my feet after the bad breakup, and at first knowing that Chris was good at getting me to laugh or at least smile no matter what was going on, I thought he was just kidding....but turns out he wasn't, and am I EVER thankful that he wasn't. We started dating around the last part of March of 2004, and then he came up to see me in the following May. I had not seen him in 2 years or better, and it was like welcoming an old friend and lover who had been away to war for a couple of years (that's the only way I can explain how it felt). Chris and I have been working on our relationship ever since. On December 30, 2004; Chris and I were married, in my parents living room. We had a small but wonderful wedding (most of it was my doing as I didn't want a big wedding). So, you see this is my fairytale, my dream, and I HAD to create a page all about the wonderful man in my life, Chris!
Never in my life, have I ever known love the way I love you... I can feel your arms around me even when you're not near, I can feel your lips kiss mine even though we are miles apart. I can hear your voice call to me in the night, And I can still see your face when I close my eyes. The warmth of the sun I feel on my face - is but only your arms in a warm embrace; The rain falling around me - is only the tears that you have cried; And the gentle breeze that blows - is only your breath entwined in mine... No matter the distance, I can still feel you. Your eyes filled with love and understanding, Your smile lighting the way; I still feel your arms holding me, Even though we're miles away... No matter the distance, no matter the storm, I know we can make it in each other's arms. Look toward the heavens, my love, and you will see me smile, For no matter the distance, I am where you are... No matter the distance, I love you With all of my heart and soul; And no matter the distance, I'll follow you where ever you may go... -Charity June 22, 2004
I hope that you too will not be afraid to discover what is around the bends in your road of life, whether it be good or bad. Take them on, no matter what goes on or where the road takes you, remember EVERYTHING you endure in life will only make you stronger. I truly hope that you will find happiness, love, and friendship... I would like to thank you for allowing me to share this part of my life with you. And may you ever wonder what's always around that bend in your road... Blessed Be!
