My, how things change
12 years ago
One year ago, June 17'th 2012 was Father's Day. Not just any Father's Day, it was the first since my dad lost his long battle with prostate cancer. I didn't feel like talking to my friends or family. I didn't feel like being around anyone. I recognized the signs of depression once again rearing it's ugly head. I logged on Second Life for a while to see who was on. That was the one place I could usually relax and forget the troubles of real life for a few minutes. Only a couple of friends were on and neither of them were talking, either busy or afk. I took a look at the online members of TNFurs and saw a couple I had seen post on the forums but didn't know. I sent friend request to them and was just about to log off and try to keep my mind from going to that dark place I'd been too many times before.
Just as I was about to log off, one of the friend request was accepted and he sent me an IM. We started talking and before I knew it I was having a very nice conversation with him. We ended up talking for a few hours and started sharing some personal information, something I NEVER do with someone I just met online. Well, things went very well from there and we started discussing a relationship. I tried and tried to convince him I was too old for a guy his age. He kept telling me age is just a number and if it didn't matter to him, why should it matter to me? Things progressed very quickly and two weeks later we met in person for the first time. After that weekend together we never wanted to be apart again. Two weeks later I went back to where he lived and this time when I came home, he was with me.
He's been with me ever since and it has been the most wonderful year of my life. There have been many hard things to face during the past year, things I'm not sure I could have made it through withing him by my side. Life's troubles, no matter how hard, are so much easier to handle knowing he's always here for me, here with me. I'm so happy and lucky to have him in my life and to know he'll be with me for the rest of my days.
Never give up. Just at one of the lowest parts of my life, the best thing I've ever known came along. We both believe my dad had a hand in guiding us together. We are both just what the other needs. I look forward to many, many more incredible years with my loving husband.
I love you Takashi.
