I boarded an elevator, pushed a button to return to the forth floor. As I reached my floor, I took my first step
outward, a woman younger than me rushed onto the elevator. Almost not seeing me at first, and then she
apologized as she boarded. As I was exiting , she asked me if she had seen me the night before in the
emergency room? I told her no, it wasnt me and she apologized again, then she asked, " You are in love
aren't you?"
"Why, yes I am!" I replied....
I am forty-five years old, and I am in love for the second time in my life. I am not "Just in love." I am, "head
over heals, heals above head, skipping down the sidewalk, singing Over The Rainbow, in love!"
I met this man a short while ago, before I heard him I knew we would connect. He listens to my heart, intently
and he can tell it is perfect, just by listening. When I lie next to him at night, I can almost see his dreams. I will
strive and work to make those dreams come true for him. And I hope all his wishes come true.
When it is just the two of us, and we stare into each others eyes. We see peace, stillness, confidence, trust,
communication without sound, and cheerfullness. He knows me completely, and I know him. To hold hands
with him is like a long awaited journey, and gently we touch, time stands still for a while, and I never want it to
end.
But as I said I am in love for the second time, I have never fallen out of love.
The first time I was in love I was twenty-three. That man is just as I dreamed he would be. We know each
others thoughts, dreams, secrets. I strive to work to make all of his dreams come true also.
Hugs from him are many, and yet never enough. He listens to my heart as well. When we stare into each
others eyes there is confidence, trust, history, stories shared, and yes, comminucation without a sound as
well. He knows me completely, and I know him.
Yes, I am in love for the second time in my life, I am a mom twice!
My son Adam, is twenty-one. My son Spencer is just two months old.
