When I met Elissa, I was not looking for a relationship. We met through a mutual friend and became fast friends. I was always attracted to her, I can't lie. But we grew as friends. Then things happened within both of our lives that gave us the chance to be romantic. Things were bumpy of course at first. I was newly single and feeling life out. When things started settling down, more and more was becoming clear. This woman showed over and over how wonderful she is. She moved in my apartment to help a "friend" of mine out, even. The plan was always for her to move back out once the other lease was up but the more time went by the less sense it made for her to leave. We haven't looked back since. I have had the pleasure to be involved with many of her family events. And the GREAT pleasure of getting to know, love and respect her children. It really is an awesome package. I love our special blended family. |
