I have found that I have ability to open my heart again. The feeling wasn't planned , wanted, or expected. It just came. He is not handsome, tall, or have eyes the color of a summer sea. He doesn't laugh in an instant or smile with his eyes. He is not you.I have found that the part of me that belives hope lives eternal has somehow found her way home. Common sense tells me that my heart is fragile and that my emotions are raw and wounded. I will wait to give my heart when I can give it without feelings of remorse, betrayal, or self-doubt. The man that has opened my heart is kind, generous of heart, and speaks with integrity. He loves his children, his family, and his God. The man who has opened my heart again knows that I am grieving and respects and appreciates my need to slowly let go as well as my need to remember forever. I have found that I have the ability to open my heart, and in time I will completely. For now I will be content with the knowledge that I will indeed love again. I know that he will not be you, but I do so wish, with all that I am, that his eyes to be the color of a summer sea and his laugh contagious. I love youMe

Its good that you recognize how vulnerable you are. Take it so slow. Hugs, Colleen
I am happy for you!!! Yes, take it one slow step at a time. Hugs. Sue.
I echo Colleen\'s message to you. I am so happy you know how vulnerable you are, but you are so so smart. That comes through in all your writings. So intelligent and so careful. I know that you will do what\'s right for you, because, as you well know, that\'s what your love would want for you. It\'s about YOU now darling. Hard to believe but it is. The best part is...it\'s OK that it\'s about you. Go. Do what is right for you.
This actually gives me a ray of hope. I know I can love again, I know it. Not sure when obviously, but I know I can. My dilemma is that most men my age are looking for someone 35 lol, and NOT someone with 4 little ones in tow. He will have to be, quite literally, sent from God. I pray for him already, you know. I ask God to prepare his heart for me and the kids, and mine for him. I even go so far as to ask God to make the kids and I an answer to this mystery man\'s prayer.
Having said that my friend, you may well be the answer to his prayer.
Love,
Cindy
