What's on my mind....

"I feel like your dad", he said. I was strong but immature. I wanted love but I wasn't ready to embrace it. As I look over the past few years I understand what it was like. Seeing the course of our relationship through his eyes. I was selfish and dishonest. I didn't have parents to show me the way. A father to teach me to love sacrificially. A mother to show me how to be a woman. I am grateful for all he taught me. I am a better woman because he took a chance on me. His boys will be great men because of him. Real relationships teach you a lot. I'm still learning and it was seven years ago. I was too blinded by my addiction to truly see myself with greatness but he always saw it in me. I can never express to him my gratitude. His wife is beyond blessed to call him her husband. I'm glad he taught me what he taught me. It's time to let it go. Time to let the memories fade and open my heart to allow new adventures to unfold. I know I deserve more and I'm the change I want to see. Here's to love, the unfailing, unconditional, sacrificial love that God bestows on me. I'm learning to bestow it unto you. I love you, everlasting.
