The other day, a friend of mine asked me a question pertaining to my feelings about Oba and how/if it has changed now that we are getting married. It really did get me to think about him, life, and my decision in general.
I met him in 2001 and it will be 10 years and 3 months from the day we met that we will officially tie the knot. Have my feelings changed in someway. Honestly, they are still the same. I have had him in my life all that time, but I have to say, I do think about him in a different light. I'm no longer thinking about, he's fun to be around, we go on awesome dates, he's great to talk to. I now think about the future and is he someone that is in sync with the same values that I seek for, that are similar to mine and the answer is yes. For every person that doesn't think he and I will make it, I can think of reasons why we stand a good chance.
Now that marrige is soon approaching and with every new event, milestone, just day-to-day things we experience, I see him in a different light. We are learning from each other, each and every day. I see him being the father of our kid(s). I see him to be a man of character, integrity, and a positive role model for my daughter, our future children, and others. He is a man with strong family core values. I see how great he interacts with my daughter - a child that he has embraced as his own. Every day, I say how blessed and lucky I am to have met a man that can completely, 100% take a child and sincerely call her his own.
All of this, and so much more, excites me and I can't wait to start our new journey together. Have our feelings intensified, I'm not sure. But what I do know is the feeling of assurance that this is the right thing has definitely intensified.
A man is like a pillar, a woman like a crossbeam. A man is like the legs of a person, a woman like the trunk. A man is like the wings of a bird, a woman like the body. If the wings and the body become separated, then how can the bird fly? And if the pillar topples, then the crossbeam will surely fall to the ground. A home without a man is like a person without a soul.Love Quote by Anonymous
I love this!!!! I just love it. I agree wholeheartedly with everything you say even though I'm on the sidelines. I see him as a man of character, integrity and strong core values, as well. We are all imperfect and everything takes work but I truly believe that you both have come to a point where you realize that being together is worth the work! That is extremely beautiful and more than exciting!!
