Holy Mother of God!!!

LOL, I haven't been able to stop giggling now for 2 hours. My new friend, who today expressed the wish to continue seeing me on a very regular basis, stopped over today for lunch, chat, and...other stuff. I told him, afterward, when my knees were not quite working anymore, that if I had to make new memories in my life, he was a GREAT person to be making those memories with. He's funny, he's WOW in terms of looks, svelte, strong, intelligent, politically savvy, got a fantastic job, and is an unbelievable .....hmm, you fill in the blanks here. He understands what I'm going through, and isn't the type of person that will keep saying "move on". He's patient, willing to talk about it with me, and offers non-depressing advice and comments that make me just feel better. Yes, I know I'm better than the situation, yes I know that I don't deserve the kind of treatment I've received...but sometimes making your brain understand these things and be OK with it is a whole different story. I like that he's not threatened by the fact that I'm still dealing with this whole mess. I like that he agreed with my choice of amputation, that he knew being home gave me too much time to torture myself with looking at the page of a man that I can't be with anymore. I like that he looks forward to taking me places and showing me off. I like that he loves the way I look NOW, not how I could look if I lost weight. I like that he doesn't make me feel self conscious about how I look, that he loves holding every part of me. I like that he's teaching me that sex doesn't have to hurt to feel amazing, but I like that he can still be rough when I want him to be. And the things he said... He said one thing in particular that made me snuggle into him harder. "I've met alot of women, but you are exemplary. You are the kind of woman that I was still thinking about a week after I met you, the kind that made me have to talk to you again, and the kind where one meeting would never be enough. Eighty percent of women are not as good as you are, the other twenty percent, well, they might be as good, but I doubt it." Ok, kudos and MAJOR points for that one. LOL...there was another saying of his that had me laughing for a good 15 minutes, and I swear will be my book title some day, but that's a whole other blog!
He's a most fabulous distraction, and I'm very lucky to have met him. I'm so thankful the universe saw fit to send me a new friend too...maybe it's that Secret again!
