Shana and Michael: It all
started last July. I was baby sitting my younger cousin Kristian while my
aunt was out of town for the weekend. As it was getting late I put Kristian
to bed and I began to watch TV...

This story was originally put online in
Sept/99 as a tribute and dedication to Jim.
It has made it's way across the world, and
is featured on numerous websites dedicated to Online Love.
I no longer am in construction. It has
been a little over 2 years since Jims death. I have moved forward,
and have met and fallen in love once again with a wonderful man I met
through the personals online.
As I said earlier in the post... Paul and I are engaged. Almost 4 years
have
gone by since I ran my first personal ad. Paul was one of the responses
I
received, but timing was not in our favor. In December of 2000, I was
finally
ready to start dating again, and thought...hmmm.. I met 1 wonderful man
through the personals, and what the heck.
As I was browsing through them again, I
came across Paul's ad, and responded, not realizing that 3 and a half
years earlier, he had responded to mine. Well, he had not forgotten, and
he immediately emailed me back. We chatted a few more times, and got
caught up on our lives, and decided to meet. He had my heart from our
first date.
The way he looked at me, his eyes, the
way he listened. He has been a comfort and
an inspiration to myself and my 8 year old daughter, and has become not
only
my best friend, but my confidante. Paul is a wonderful man, and has
been
supportive of me in my hard times, as well as I in his. He knows of my
past
relationship with Jim, and has been wonderful as a listener. I Love him
with
all my heart for being such a strong person. And I long for the day that
we
become one in marriage.
I believe that my angel has helped me to
overcome my grief over Jim's death,
and that God and Jim sent Paul to me once again.
One of these days I will post a picture of this unique angel found by
me.
