You ever have a secret fantasy or wish fulfilled unexpectedly?
I have realized that I've fallen in love with my favorite fictional character come to life. I never thought my life would turn out like something out of a book - I just wish I knew the ending.

Well, mine is a "Soap Opera" come to life... my husband of 20 years was having yet another affair...he dropped me off at my sisters (two states away) and told me to have a nice life. I was devastated...at first. Then I realized he didn't deserve me. I met my boyfriend who is...and don't laugh...18 years younger than I am. He is so good to me and we now have a six month old daughter together. I have 4 children total and my oldest daughter (who is one month older than my boyfriend) is making me a grandmother in a few weeks. I am happier than I ever thought I would or could be. I have love, family and friends...life is good.
Some day, all this will make perfect sense so for now, laugh at the confusion and smile through the tears and keep reminding yourself everything happens for a reason
(in memory of my niece Gina) These words got me through a lot ;D

Yeah, I can definitely emphasize with the soap opera life. Seven months ago I jumped on a plane to meet a guy 11 years my senior off the internet. Now I'm semi-engaged to him (waiting on some cash) and living 2000 miles away from where I was a year ago.
Most of my family thinks I'm off my rocker for being with him and thus we're not on speaking terms (we weren't great before though). As for the boyfriend/fiance, he's so italian (2nd generation immigrants)...acts like one of those mafia guys sometimes.
Sometimes I worry that I'm into it for the unexpected and the danger (hey, living only an hour away from the US kidnapping capital). But then I realize that this is my best shot for a life I'd be happy to live.
Sorry to hear what your husband did to you. What a scumbag! I'm jealous of your children. I'm 25 and without kids. Most days I wish I had one. =( I'm glad that you have awesome support to get you through this part of life.
I love the poem. Some days I wish that I could read the last chapter of my life and know that I'm making the best decisions. I guess I'll just hope that I'm living a drama and not a horror book. Although, I wouldn't mind being the villain in a horror. They always get the last laugh. Hehe.

Ooh, now that I can understand. My boyfriend is eight years older than me, and I met him online too. He's from NC and I'm in CA. It always makes for an interesting story. He moved out here about four years ago or so now. We were long distance dating for two years before that. I have to admit that I love it when people ask him why he moved out here from the east coast and he looks at me. ;D
Sorry to hear about your family not supporting you though.
And Pumpkin, wow, that's horrible that someone would do that to you! Sounds like you've found a sweetheart though.

I would go through it all over again to get to where I am today. Some people think I'm crazy being with my boyfriend because he's younger than I am, but look at what I had and now look at what I've got...I am truly a lucky woman ;D This goes out to ALL of us...do what makes you happy...LIVE, LAUGH & LOVE! You only have one life, one shot...make it count ;D
