\"Loving<\/a><\/p>\n

My first husband was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 25. When he was 28, the cancer came back after being in remission, and it was spreading fast.\u00a0 One day I walked into the hospital room and saw the look on everyone\u2019s faces.\u00a0 I could tell it wasn\u2019t good news.\u00a0 The doctors said there was nothing else they could do for him and recommended we put him in hospice.<\/p>\n

I was angry, terrified, and my heart was broken!\u00a0 Why was this happening? We were so happy and so young! This was unfair!<\/p>\n

After everyone left, we barely spoke.\u00a0 The sadness hung in the room and we just lay next to each other in his hospital bed.\u00a0 The next day, we had a conversation that I will never forget for as long as I live.\u00a0 During our talk, we thanked each other for every good thing we had brought into one another\u2019s lives.\u00a0 We asked for forgiveness and forgave.\u00a0 We talked about how upset and sad we were and he asked me to forgive him for not being able to fight the cancer.\u00a0 He\u2019d done his best.\u00a0 Then he spoke words that, for me, will always signify the epitome of unconditional love<\/b>.<\/p>\n

He told me he wanted me to be happy. He wanted me to live, and laugh and love again.\u00a0 He said he knew there was someone out there for me, and he wanted me to make that man as happy as I\u2019d made him.\u00a0 He told me I deserved to be loved and that I\u2019d find him sooner than I thought.\u00a0 Then he said, \u201cWhen you meet him, you\u2019ll just know <\/b>that he\u2019s the one I\u2019m telling you about.\u00a0 You\u2019ll know I helped him find you.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want to hear those words.\u00a0 I wanted to hear how our prayers were going to be answered, how we were going to beat the odds and fight this monster together.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t want to find or love anyone else!\u00a0 I wanted us to have the life we\u2019d planned and dreamed of together!<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t say any of this.\u00a0 Instead, when he asked me if I would promise him that I would do everything I could to be happy again, l went against everything my heart and mind were telling me, and I said, \u201cI promise<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n

He died in my arms 2 days later, and I felt as if every one of my hopes, dreams and plans for the future died with him. As I grieved the loss of my love and the life I\u2019d hoped to live, I\u2019d often think about what he told me and the promise I made, but part of me just couldn\u2019t believe that I would ever find love\u2013 not that kind of love \u2013 <\/i>again.<\/p>\n

About ten months later, I got the courage to accept a date from a guy who stood me up!\u00a0 My friend and I went out dancing so that I wouldn\u2019t stay home and gather more evidence that I\u2019d end up alone.\u00a0 And that\u2019s the night life gave me one of its unexpected surprises \u2013 the good kind <\/i>\u2013 this time!<\/p>\n

Ric and I have been together for almost 14 years, and we have what I like to refer to as \u201can extraordinary love.\u201d We have created a beautiful family with two little boys who have taught me to never underestimate the human heart\u2019s capacity to love!<\/p>\n

Every day, I fulfill the promise I made to my first husband. I live, I laugh, and I love.\u00a0 I honor his memory and what we shared by living this promise.\u00a0 And I\u2019m beyond grateful that I have been blessed enough to experience true love twice<\/i> in a lifetime!<\/p>\n

What about you? Are you afraid that you won\u2019t find true love again?\u00a0 Are you afraid that you let \u201cThe One\u201d get away?\u00a0 Are you grieving the loss of your love, hopes, and dreams \u2013 either from a breakup, divorce, or loss of a partner or spouse?\u00a0 I\u2019m here to tell you that we live in a world that is abundantly full of love and possibilities, and, you, too can experience love again!
