One Year

Last night I looked at Duane and I really saw him. It brought on such an emotional response that I actually surprised myself. I've never really been an emotional person... but I was so over-whelmed.

I saw both the man he is now and the person I have known for over half my life. I feel like he is the first person I have truly known completely - and the first person to really know who I am as well. No secrets. No lies. There is a total acceptance of past, present, and future.

It's amazing how love works, but I really know what unconditional love feels like - it's impossible not to believe he is my soulmate.

I love him so much - even a year later.

May 27 is the one year mark from the day we were laying in bed just talking after spending a long day with his boys and they had gone to bed. We both admitted how in love with each other we were. I still remember the words, how my heart fluttered, and how happy I was to know I'd finally found the person I was meant to spend the rest of my life with.
