Seven years ago today I married my best friend. I am the luckiest girl in the world because I had a second chance at love and this time I got it right! Neither of us is perfect, we don't pretend to be. But we are loving, forgiving and understanding. I know the percentage of second marriages that end in divorce is high, but I really feel like we will make it. We have been through obstacles so far that could have "ended" us, but we stayed committed. I was single for six years between husbands. I took care of my children, I worked on me, and I made a good life for the three of us. Right, when I said, it didn't matter if I ever met someone - there he was and here he stays. He is a man of conviction, a strong, yet nurturing, step-father and a wonderful provider. I think the difference for us is that we came together out of strength and mutual admiration, rather than need. I am so happy! I wanted just this type of love, I want it for my two daughters, my two nieces and for every woman that desires a marriage relationship. I am so happy that we were married on this date - right on the cusp of spring....right when everything is in "bloom". I hope we will always continue to "bloom" together ;-)
