Reflections of years past
« on: Dec 30th, 2003, 7:06pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify Remove Remove
As the year comes to a close I reflect back not just on the year gone pass by the YEARS and how wonderful things are since Pilar came into my life allow me a few moments to share those reflections
 
I had a relationship (ex) but no LOVE
I have more LOVE than I can every want DAILY
 
I had Little Money a even fewer Freinds
I have little Money but more freinds than I could ever ask for as well as a companion (Pilar) who is also my Best Friend
 
I had Ulcers and other stress related illnesses
I have a Healthy body and Healthy mind with NO PROBLEMS
 
I had so many chores I had no time to complete them or spend time with my Family
I have a Partner who shares these chores (willingly) and thus we both have time for children and each other
 
I had so much emotional pain I barely had time to LOVE
I have so much LOVE I have no time for pain
 
I had concerned Family memebers concerned for both me and the children
I have a happy family who love my wife almost as much as I love her
 
I had a woman who gave birth to my children
I have a woman who is a REAL MOM to my children
 
Now my life has its issues and always will but nothing can take the joy away Pilar has brought into mine and the childrens lives. If there are Angels on Earth Pilar is truly one of them. so during this year end when we relect on the past I do so with LOVE and JOY. I know not what the future holds but i already lived through HELL and this my friends has to Heaven. If I were to suggest anything its simple look to what is really important and you will find JOY as I did I learned much from EX but the biggest lesson was Happiness is not BOUGHT or SOLD Happiness comes from inside and its normally RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU Kiss

That was so profound and lovely, David.  I'm sure Pilar appreciates you, as much as you do her.
 
It's too bad we humans have to go through stresses, unhappiness, misery, anxiety.  I've learned there's a reason for all that.   But when we find the right "somebody" to share love, it makes everything bad and horrible go away....like a shiny curtain pushed aside to let the light and colours in.
 
I'm so happy for you and Pilar.  May all your years be many and be happy.   Kiss  It certainly shows in that beautiful new avatar what kind of love you share.

David,  Pilar is truly blessed to have a family that loves and appreciates her so much.  One of the great things that your previous terrible relationship has given this one is that you will never take each other for granted.  Cool

David, that is truly beautiful and I am so happy for you that you have Pilar in your life.  She is a lucky woman to have you also.  It seems so many times people have to go through really bad relationships before they find true happiness.  
 
Mr. Irish and I have been blessed with a love that has grown over the years.  In the early years there were the usual rough spots but we were always able to work them out.  We were blessed with two lovely daughters and now a beautiful granddaughter has been added to our family.  It seems like only yesterday I was an 18 year old blushing bride (yes, 18, and it lasted).  The years have held many surprises, some good, some not, but the one thing that has been consistant is the growth of our love.  Nine years ago Mr. I had a heart attack and 4 years ago he was in a near fatal traffic accident.  Those two incidents made me realize just how much I love him and how lucky we are to have each other after 38 years.
 
Sorry for stealing your thread, I guess what I'm trying to say to you is cherish Pilar (I know you do) and let your love continue to grow.  As the years pass, it only gets sweeter.

David, this is more than wonderful.   What a lovely tribute to Pilar.  You should thank your Ex, for had you not gone through the bad times, you probably would not appreciate what you now have in your relationship.
 
IL, you didn't steal his thread for it is great to hear about the happy relationships.  I'm glad your marriage at 18 lasted.  Mine did not!
 
Thankfully, we'll celebrate our 20th Anniversay on June 30, 2004.  And yes, there have been some rough places to smooth out for us also.  When you are married to your best friend, and we were friends before we ever went on a date, it sure aides in making a marriage stick it out through thick and thin.  
Just a quick story on unconditional love.  I went to the hair salon today and got a trim and set and my husband tells me tonight that he thinks I look pretty when my hair is straight, in a pony tail and needing a shampoo, as it was yesterday.  What a compliment!  This has to be unconditional love, for without my hair done and makeup, I really look bad!  :yikes:
 
So, also not meaning to steal your thread, but did you realize that the ones of us who are in a great marriage may give encouragement for others to try again and others to start on a relationship?
"It is better to love and lost, than never to love at all."
I lost, and love found me again.  An  unconditional, eternal, peaceful, adventurous, romantic love, for which I am truly grateful.  To all, I wish for you this kind of love.  Tongue

I'm thinking we should thank you David.  Say - I wonder if you could have Pilar come to the 'puter and say a few words?
 
Pilar - I/we would love to hear from you, too.  It's almost 2004.  What are you and David hoping for in the New Year?  
 
Edirted to ask:  What happened to David's new avatar?  All I see is the "X".....  Cry  Nevermind, it looks ok now.   *sigh*

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF DAVID  DAY OR NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  so what do i look for the future to not let me wake up from  this wonderful dream  ive been in for the past year and  to see our kids grow  & see david& i in our own house in our backyard  "HOT TUB"  !!!!!!!!   Wink

Thanks so much Pilar.  After reading your post this morning, it's obvious that you and David mirror one another from your heart and soul.  What a wonderful way to start the New Year.!   Kiss
