God heard and answered my prayers when he sent my wonderful husband into my life. We have both lived and learned quite a lot in our lives and now I think God feels we are truly ready to be happy.

~ OUR STORY ~


Lloyd and I were in a group of friends on the internet for about a year. My marriage broke up because of severe problems involving abuse. Lloyd's wife passed away due to Arithmia. He decided to get out of the house and come to visit friends he had on the net here in La. We took him around La. to show him the sights and to hear some Cajun music which he dearly loves. After his visit here, he went back to Washington and called me to ask me to marry him. He spent Christmas with his family and told them of his plans. They were very happy for him. He retired as Detective Sargent with the Police Dept. and moved all his belongings to La. We were married October 27, 2000 and we are both very happy. Between us, we have seven children and ten grandchildren and they are all very happy for us. We have since gone back to Washington where I met all his family and friends and saw the sights. My prayers for happiness has truly been answered.


WHEN WE FIRST MET





~ RECIPE FOR FALLING IN LOVE ~

 
~ Bring together one man and one woman both searching for that special soulmate.
~ Add friendship, patience, understanding, and unconditional love. Let simmer over time.
~ Blend in quiet nights in front of a cozy fire.
~ Add long walks hand-in-hand on a moonlit beach.
~ Mix in a dozen long stemmed red roses for no particular reason.
~ Add a slow dance to a tender love song.
~ Mix in a mutual sharing of hopes and dreams and fears.
~ Lastly add a deep passion and intense desire for one another so strong it takes the breath away.
~ To keep the feeling alive, it must be nurtured til the end of time.



Lloyd sent this poem to me after he

asked me to marry him




~ THREE ROSES FOR MY LOVE ~


Three roses I will give you one is red.. one is white and one is pink all three are connected by a common link The link is that of.. yesterdays and tomorrow.. all of your todays the joy.. the pain and the sorrow

Red is for yesterday and all that you have learned in your quest to understand this rose.. you have earned

White is for tomorrow with the dawn.. so new and bright with yesterdays darkness gone your heart will be alright

Pink is for today in the combining of the two with what you know and your dreams this day will start.. anew

Three roses I will give you three roses.. you will take three roses you will always have three roses.. for your.. keepsake

I Love You Mary



~ PARTNERS IN LOVE ~

Walk with me down life's path hand in hand, side by side Do not lead, do not follow Together yet separate we will abide

Share with me all that you feel hand in hand, side by side Do not cage, do not set free Together yet separate we will abide

Equal partners in life and in love hand in hand, side by side Do not take more, do not take less Together yet separate we will abide

" WE WERE MEANT TO BE "

~ to my loving Husband ~

l feel deep in my heart and soul, that you and l were meant to be.

Life has it's own way of bringing two people together, and l believe that is what happened, with you and me.

Destiny brought us together, to share in such a beautiful love.

A love more great than l have ever before known, that truly is a precious gift to me, from the Lord above.

Every word that is spoken, l feel so deeply in my heart.

Your words remain within me always, and warm my heart and soul, when we are apart.

Every touch that l have felt, has let me know just how much you have cared.

l remember every tender moment we have spent together, and everything beautiful, we have shared.

No other love has ever filled me so completely, as the love that l have found with you.

A love of this kind, and so very deep, is found in a lifetime, by only a very few.

You have touched my life, in more ways than you could ever know.

l love you more than words could ever possibly say, and so very much more, than l could ever show.



~FROM LLOYD~

Did Anyone Ever Tell You,
Just How Special You Are
The Light that You Emit
Might even Light a Star.

Did Anyone Ever Tell You
How Important You Make Others Feel
Somebody out here is Smiling
About Love that is so Real.

Did Anyone Ever Tell You
Many Times, When They were Sad
Your E-mail made Them Smile a bit
In Fact It made Them Glad.

For the Time You Spend Sending Things
And Sharing Whatever You Find
There are No Words to Thank You
But Somebody, Thinks You're Fine.

Did Anyone Ever Tell You
Just How Much They Love You
Well, My Dearest Wife
I Just Did...





~Unconditional Love~

A treasure to be cherished, A gift from God above; Is the beauty of a couple, Touched by unconditional love.

A love that asks no questions, Believes in all the best; Never doubting, ever trusting, Withstanding any test.

A love that weathers any storm, And yet that love still stands; Through the very darkest hour, It still reaches out a hand.

There in that hand the sweetest gift, That you can give a person; A heart that cares, a love that shares, That will be there till the end.

A treasure to be cherished, A gift from God above; Is what I share with you my dear wife, An unconditional love.

" NOW AND FOREVER "




Now and Forever

(Lyrics to Midi)

Whenever I'm weary from the battles that rage in my head

You make sense of madness when my sanity hangs by a thread

I lose my way but still you seem to understand

Now and forever I will be your wife.

Sometimes I just hold you Too caught up in me to see

I'm holding a fortune that heaven has given to me

I'll try to show you each and every way I can

Now and forever I will be your wife

Now I can rest my worries and always be sure

That I won't be alone anymore

If I'd only known you were there all the time

All this time Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the sand

Now and forever I will be your wife

Now and forever I will be your wife.
