This is the part where I'm supposed to communicate The Story if you will, of Us. Now I would love for you all to join me as I relive for you the tale of Tara and I. One of intrigue and wonder. Passion, romance, and a time machine built out of a Delorean. A story destined to be told at the foot of the beds of your children's children's children's children. A soliloquy wrought with imagery, rhyme, alliteration, personification, onomatopoeia, and every other literary device imaginable. Unfortunately that's not us. I wish for the sake of you reading this that it was that enthralling, exciting, and heart pounding but to a person on the outside of this, the story of two people who meet at work and fall in love is unlikely to be that exhilerating. What I can assure you of however is that it has been all of those things and more for us. I know that those of you reading this may know one of us very well. If you did know both of us equally you would realize very quickly that a force much bigger than she or I or whatever love that we believe we have found has spent the last 28 years coordinating its efforts to put us in exactly the place we were the day and moment our eyes met, and every one before that as well. As I sit here writing this, pondering the beautiful girl who reminds me every day that oxygen is not a necessity in life as she constantly leaves me breathless, I don't want to create a picture for you at all about her or I. What I want is for you to be left with the same thought that carries me to sleep at night. The thought that the God that created the universe in all its splendor meticulously created each of us as well and just like everything in His universe, from the largest of stars to the smallest of molecules, each has a purpose essential to function. I've never taken physics but I have spent some time studying God and in meeting Tara I have come to realize that God has a purpose for her and for I essential to function and what I am witnessing now is just the beginning of One whose plan and love for us surpasses anything I can comprehend. Tara and I look forward to a life in the service of God, of others, and of each other. Thank you for all of your love and support. God Bless. |
