Absolutely perfect. Once I realized that my someday husband was going through life getting ready for me just as I was going through my life preparing for him it made every moment of waiting worth it. I can't say I regret even the worst of my ex's because without them I wouldn't be able to see just how wonderful The One truly is. <em>Yolanda's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ebonymommy/~3/288324303/' rel="nofollow">Happy Mother’s Day</a></em> “You just have to remember that a rose bush is mostly two feet of leaves, stems, and thorns not just three inches of rose petals.”

I'm compelled to respond...first I thank GOD for parallel lives...sistah-hood for those that can relate. I met a dear young man, 4 years ago, from the Ivory Coast...Monico is his name. He adored me as well, and the ground I walked on. Even at 32 it scared me. I knew in my heart, I could not give him what he wanted, at the time, at least. I was very much in love with someone else. He too, became my refuge, my relief, my escape from my world, ...what blessing to have such an understanding. I wanted it to continue for the duration of my life. Selfish I know. So it seems its coming to an end. He's relocated to Seattle with family. His businesses are here and he "promises" to see me upon his return(s). I wont hold him to it...I know how life can get in the way. I'm saddened, of course...and confused. Trying not to trip off what could've/should've/maybe one day will do. I'm satisfied being life-long friends. Something tells me the fact that we were past lovers will hinder this. He proclaims to everyone, that I'm his best friend! I cherish this relationship. I want to hold on to it like a favorite child-hood toy or pastime (one you hold to help you sleep at night). So I pose the question, can sex (good or bad) ruin a destined friendship. (rhetorical, i know) So allow me to rephase...."how many blessed relations have been hindered (or devastated) our primal desires of man and woman - (keep in mind, when I say "sex", that 's includes emotions as well. Please advise, I will be waiting... He is here now, leaving in 2 weeks, we are afraid to get close again. I want to say good-bye, he want give me the chance. Meanwhile, I'm left tolling with these emotional highs and lows. Agony OK!!!!
