How did you know he was the "one"?

[Twisterdog]

That's a tough question ...

When I met my son's father in high school, yes, I knew he was the ONE. And he has remained, to this day, the one great love of my life. However, we were very young when we met, we both changed and grew in different directions, and the relationship did not work out in the long run, although we were together twelve years. So while I loved him with all my heart, we were not actually compatiable in the long run as adults.

Many years later, when I met my husband, it was entirely different. We were both adults with kids, divorces, jobs, houses, etc. It was not a wild fireworks-in-the-sky type of instant insane love. However, we both knew that we had found someone who shared the same values, goals, priorities. We knew we could stand to live with each other, basically. Not saying we don't love each other, of course we do, it's just different at different stages of life, maybe.

This is a great sentence ....

That about sums it up

I knew that very first moment. When I first held him in my arms and he looked up at me. So sweet, so innocent so trusting. There were hundreds there but only one stole my heart. Here he is.
