Blessing

When I  was a young child, at a tender age of 13 years old, I used to tell my mother that I'll definitely get married to  someone who has a very special and different character like no other because I felt that way about myself. I didn't feel like I could click with just any man. My character wouldn't allow just any average man to be with me as well. What I told my mother, I told the same thing to a boy I used to be with for awhile (a long painful 4 years to be exact). I told my mother too, that  the love of my life will most likely be a tad but older than I am. And if i couldn't find the man that was different from every other men I've witness and who wouldn't complement me, I wouldn't settle down (though truth be told, that's all I ever want in life). In my mind, I had already came up with a list of traits that I would want the love of my life to possess. 6 years later, I met the love of my life in a time that neither of us saw coming (It's quite a story to be honest but let's leave it for another day). This boy didn't only meet the list of traits I had came up with, but exceeded them all. I'm certain he's the one I'll be growing old and grey with. I couldn't have been more blessed to have met a gentleman with an old, loving soul like bubba. Men like these comes in rare times. I'll always count my blessings.
