I was so focused. Lol. I was just settling in to a full time position at my job. London was finally getting use to charter school curriculum. Life was good but I knew I was preparing it for my husband. I had know idea what God had in store for my life in such a short time. We met online and when I saw his picture I immediately thought “No time for Thots” ha ha ha Ohhh was I so wrong. The first time we met it was on my lunch break because I was having such a horrible day at work. I remember watching him talk and he wasn’t afraid to be himself. I knew then to relax and be who I am. I didn’t look at him like I look at most men. I was looking at his heart. I mean like his true self. We talked and texted hours everyday. What strike me the most was as the months passed he always remained consistent. Never switched up, always kept his word, and supported me in everything I did. But most importantly he became the father that London needed. I knew then that God is showing me who He is. God has a way of proving you wrong I was ok with the single life and making sure me and London were ok. And now there is the Man that is showing me that life is about Love. I thank God repeatedly for showing out when he created Gary. He created him just for me.
I was so at ease with life. I became permanent with New York City Transit about a little more then a year(don't quote me on this now)Lol. I had a new swag about myself the feeling of accomplishing that test was a breath of fresh air and so much weight off my shoulders. Thanking God every step of the way and to my surprise he wasn't finished with blessing my life. I would have never known I would meet the women of my dreams Shanna Samone Delk. I'll never forget the day (well the actual date I did forget but I bet she knows. Females always remember dates. We met on a dating website called POF (Plenty of Fish) with working alot of hours and volunteering with teens it was hard to meet woman regularly/old fashioned way. My coworker told me about the app. So I was like f@#k it I'll give it a try. While on this app I will browse here and there until someone catches my eye. Until one female did caught my attention. I said to myself "Wow she is beautiful" so I slid in her DM like a snake and shot my shot (But if you let her tell it she talked to me first). We Talked for a while via the app and eventually exchanged Kik and from there we decided to exchange numbers. We would talk on the phone for hours just about life and text all day. I would’ve never thought that I'm talking to my future best friend, partner in crime, lover, supporter, my world and my everything. I'm ready as a man, future husband and father to embark on journey with the love of my life.
Marriage takes work, communication, and ability to accept all the faults of your partner. Patience to endure the tough times and wisdom to realize that no one or no relationship is perfect. We commit to not giving up. Even when it’s taking the best out of us. God is the center of all things. As long as we keep Him there all things are possible!
