Jewells of Thought

Yesterday was a day of poignant thoughts and memories. Grandma Rosie died in March of 2020, but her words follow me even now. She told me I would fall and fall hard for my Mr. Right. She was absolutely on the mark; I was the one who was skeptical.

Three years ago on the 13th was a unique day for me it was the day before this mysterious gorgeous profile appeared on my Telegram feed. I was with Mom passing out invites for Grandma’s Celebration of Life. We went to a couple of different places. Grandpa Freddy was on my mind, since it was the day of his birthday. There are times I wonder if this had anything to do with what was about to happen the next day!

Did my moments of intense prayer time for specifically asking God for my other half have anything to do with the 14th? I wanted a love like my grandparents and prayed to find that. I also wanted, that love to be with me to endure with me whatever might happen at the Celebration of Life. God gave me my answer and yet it was partially filled. My love had found me, but he was in Boston, somehow I showed him a glimpse of a life he wanted and it was enough for him to want to fight for the ‘us’ that we are now.

For the life of me I tried to stay skeptical of everything simply because this was done online. Yet within one month of conversing with him the word ‘Home’ often came to mind. Essentially if you have read any of my articles from the past year you have read some very personal insights of our relationship.

I will never forget the week that started on the Monday of the 13th the night before Bryan sent his ‘Hello’ to me to the night I actually found his profile two nights later on Thursday night. My parents were taking off earlier that day for a Church couples retreat only a couple of weeks after their own Anniversary. Another odd occurrence happened on that Thursday.

This was during a time where I was up at my Grandma’s house doing some cleaning and moving things hoping to fulfill a dream that was still not done. I was somehow able to get my younger brother to help me we tried to move a rather large piece of furniture and still with his help was difficult. A pain that had been in my wrist was made worse because of this stupid decision of mine. Enough that even as I my brother, uncle and I ate out at Texas Roadhouse I wore my brace for my hand.

After all of this had just happened and I was back at home I finally after two days found something unusual on my feed. Up until that day I had only read and watched videos of the dozens and dozens of profiles I had on this platform it has since then dwindled and I have Bryan’s pinned to the very top. However, at that point in time I was for certain this dude had made a mistake.

I promised myself no more online anything, after eHarmony years before. I was done…

This is just the first Anniversary date there is a second and the day I made a decision.
