Long Distance Romance

This is a true story about how I met the man of my dreams. Over a year and a half ago, I met someone in a dating website. I was 44 then and he is 54. The very first time I saw his picture, I know and I feel that there is something on his smile that until now I can't explain, this man really got my attention and sleepless night started of thinking of him.

Until one day, I was chatting at that time, when someone IM me, and introduce himself. This guy is the man of my dream that I been waiting for...at first I didn't recognized him, that he is the one that I been waiting for because I didn't remember his name then, so I told him that I don't know him, that I don't talk to stranger, but he keeps on telling me that were friends and that I know him, so when I finally remember him I was really happy and surprised, but he was in a hurry going for work, he told me that he will comeback later to talk to me, so I asked the time difference we had, when he's gone I felt a little bit sad, because I still wanna talk to him, because there is something about him that intrigued me so much.
Starting that night of July 2008, a week before my birthday (July 29) I started to wait for him to come online, I kept my computer open, hoping that he will come, and my wish was granted, he came, and my heart started to beat fast for the reason I don?t know. We started to talk, it was the most precious and memorable chat I ever had. His name was Geno, he was very sweet, funny, a guy with great sense of humor, on the middle of our conversation, and he asked my phone number, I gave him my number (something I absolutely do not do). That same moment he called me and I can say that he had me at the first ?Hello?. I felt something from the moment I heard his voice, especially when he invited me for a cup of coffee?this guy really amaze me, I even thought he was in the Philippines then because of that invitation. We instantly became friends and kept in contact with each other on a regular basis (emails, phone calls, chatting online). He lives in Germany, but he is an American guy, while I am in the Philippines. Every time we spoke, the feelings we felt for each grew deeper. I am happy to say that we are so in love and will be seeing each other soon for the first time in person. We had each others pictures, now we had each others hearts....I never believe in finding love on the net, until now. Really God works in mysterious ways. I am so blessed to have Geno in my life.

Our commitment is stronger than anything. I'm half way around the world and somehow we make it work, that's how much we want to be together. God found a way to get us together, I believe everything we're going through is just a test from god to see if we're going to fight for our love or give up? Well, we're standing strong, fighting for our love, fighting for everything we wanna have together. In fact, he keeps on saying that he'll kill a rock for me? and I would be the biggest fool if I let him go.. because I believe we get luck once in our lifetime, I feel so lucky to have him in my life. He is the best thin that ever happened to me, he is my guardian angel, my supporter, my critics, my adviser, my everything and most of all I'll be so honored to carry his name and have a family with him. In fact, we've decided to get married, no matter what. It might be crazy, but we know we're meant for each other, no religion or culture or race should keep us apart. If what I have with my man is not true love, I don't know what it is.. So PLEASE PRAY FOR US for those who happens to read my story..

I LOVE MY MAN VERY MUCH?. I love you Geno
