Some times in life, things happen to you that at the time seem like the worst thing you will ever have to go through.  The people you thought were on your side won't be there or worse yet, in some cases, will turn against you.  You will feel like your life is falling apart and you have no control over what is happening.  You start to lose hope and wonder where your life is going.  And when it feels like it can't get any worse, something will happen to make it worse.

 

They say for every door that shuts, another one opens.  With every bad thing that happens, something good will happen.  It's almost impossible to believe that when you are going through an extremely difficult time.  But hang in there!  It CAN and DOES happen.  You may not realize it right away, but as a little time goes by and you look back, you'll see it.

 

At a time where it felt like most people were pushing me down or watching me drown without helping, someone came into my life that at the time I didn't realize the importance of.  I was ready and intent on blowing this person off.  But he never gave me the chance to do that and never gave up on me.  His persistance took me by surprise and I thought, "this is kind of intriguing...I have no idea where this is going, but my curiousity is peaked."  And blowing him off would have been the biggest mistake of my life.  I met the person who understands me--ALL of me.  I met someone who truly cares and has proven it over and over and over.  I met someone who is there to support me and everything I do.  I met someone that knows me inside and out.  I met someone that knows exactly what I'm thinking and feeling, sometimes before I even realize it myself.  I met someone who I cannot live without.  I met someone who is ME.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you Michael!  You saved me.
