So we decided to meet, he lived about 13 hours from me, Luke came here on Dec 26/97, it was scary, exciting and ended up great. Yes my family and friends thought I was crazy for doing this , but some thing told me that he was for real. I'm now glad I went with my instincts. We were both divorced for some years so that was good. We both went through the same ordeal in the divorce so we could relate to starting a new romance and having our doubts.

Luke stayed for 4 days, I couldn't believe he was the same wonderful man I had chatted to for all thought nights it was great. I was shining, and other people noticed and commented. I was on top of the world. When he had to leave I wanted to cry, later he told me that he wanted to tell me that he loved me but scared I would think he was crazy. Little did he know that I wanted to tell him to that I fell in love with him.

The night he got back home he called, it was then that he told me he loved me, my heart burst with joy and I told him how I felt. So as the days went on we both felt we couldn't be apart and decided to tie the knot. The date was set for Jan 29/98. He was giving up everything to come and marry me and live here. I thought that had to be the most wonderful thing a person could do. Coming to a different country to live , I know that I would have not taking that step, I was scared, but he proved to me that he loved me deeply by doing this.

After we settled in to home life and got to really know each other, we went back to visit his family, they were wonderful and the place was breath taking, I loved it. We decided to move back to the US to live, I do miss my family and friends but, Luke is my whole life now and I love him dearly.
