I told someone I loved them.After being widowed in 2014, losing my mother later that year, and a kitten I had gotten in August as a companion, I began a grieving journey that brought me full circle when a friend and neighbor was struck and killed by a car this February. Her funeral was the same date that my wife had died.
I already knew the brevity and majesty of life but my friend's sudden death took it to a new level. Then, someone came into my life one month ago and changed everything.
I knew within days that we would love each other deeply and for a long time.
At first, I was afraid, but then I remembered my friend. To receive an opportunity to love is miraculous. I have decided not to refuse the universe's offer of such a gift.
I told someone I loved them. It's a choice, a commitment, and a feeling. I am blessed.

I have never quite gotten over it but i have grown into leaving my heart open for that person that god will bless me with. I'm thrilled that you have been blessed with the precious gift of someone to share this life with. Continue to love well my friend.
