Our Path To Forever began on May 28th 1999. It was an on line friendship
at first. I was the one who first contacted Bob. Boy was I scared
that he would not respond to my e-mail. A few days had passed
but they had felt like months and I checked my e-mail everyday,
and still no response. I had given up...Then one night while
on line I got the e-mail I had been waiting so patiently for
I was scared to open it for fear of rejection, but as I read His
tender words I knew he was not like the other men I had
talked to on line.

We talked everyday through e-mail and instant message
for about a week, until I got the courage to talk on the phone
with him, Once we started to talk on the phone we would spend
hours talking about everything and anything. I really got to
know him in those couple of weeks. I felt at peace
with him, and felt comfortable with telling him my whole life
story...A story of sadness that I had always kept to myself

Then Came the big day...June 18th 1999, The day we would meet
in person. All day long things kept going through my mind,
Things like what to wear, what to say, What if he doesn't like me?
What if I don't like him, Where will we go, What will we do?
Silly things like that kept going round and round in my head.
We met and he could tell I was scared, I remember him telling
me to relax and let go...I did and had a wonderful time.

As you can tell from today, almost three years later we are
Still together. I really enjoy my time spent with Bob, We
have shared so much since meeting each other. I often tell him
that he was sent to me by an angel who knew I needed a person
like him in my life. We both enjoy walks on the beach in
front of our favorite Lighthouse.
We also took a trip to the Outer banks of North Carolina, and
were there for the re-lighting of Cape Hatteras. We spent a very,
romantic night on Ocracoke Island. I have made many memories
with Bob too many to mention, but they will be forever in my
Heart.

But most of all my angel has showed me to love and give love
back. A lot of people say on line dating will not work.
It does work, but not for everyone. There are a lot of sick
people out there so I must say be careful who you do talk to.
Not everyone can be like the man I met. My Soul Mate, My Best
Friend, My Lover, And the man I want to Grow Old Together With...
