Sick of hearing me talk about my wife and my love for her? Sorry, not sorry. This love taught me things. Things about myself. In no way do I ever intend to demolish or disrespect any other kind of love I have ever experienced. But, this love has stretched me. From not caring about acceptance to taking a chance on being judged for my ability to say it was my time to be truly happy! How do you ever know you were never ever truly happy until you experience it? I have learned to be vulnerable with the risk of being rejected. I have learned to be present at the risk of it not being returned. I have learned to heal from the past at the risk of repeating mistakes. Theres no end to this growth. And, I undertand why it had to be HER. The fact that its a HER is even part of the growth. So, I encourage anyone who is on the fence about a love that may bring a microscope and magnifying glass with it to LOVE anyway. Im learning its ok to be....just to BE, flaws and all. And, I am happy I followed my heart. Please follow yours. My wife said to me today, Im gonna get up and push myself to go to the store with you because I dont want you to feel like youre doing this by yourself just because Im sick.....a small thing with big rewards. To me it was a reminder yet again that I have a partner for LIFE, not just on paper, but in action. She did that! Took her last bit of energy and when I walked too fast in the store, she simply asked I slow down AND I did. We are in this together and its apparent and Im grateful! So, believe the hype or not, I am grateful and I dont need to justify why any further. Thank you MRS. Neicha Smith-Osei. I appreciate YOU!
