Thank you for this opportunity to share my love for someone very dear to me. I had a relationship with Joe for 5 years. We shared a love I had never known before. We were both in our 40's and both had failed marriages. The love that grew between us was real and forbidden. Joe was married, but wanted to end the marriage. I asked him to try to make it work. In the end, after 5 amazing years hiding our love from everyone, they moved away. I have not seen him for 15 years now, but I still think of him fondly and wish things could have been different. I love him to this day!

We were kids who grew up together as neighbors & school buddies.... you would become my best friend....we became teenagers in love & we took different paths. You got mixed up with the wrong crowd.... I went on to marry & have children..... unfortunately, you have found yourself in a prison, literally due to those choices..... I survived an abusive marriage with my 2 kiddos..... I’m now a single mom..... we have survived all of this! You don’t deserve to be where u are..... you’re such a kind / loving person who just made some bad decisions..... despite all of this I So love you & I’ll wait!

In Time I often ask myself, is there something wrong with me? Why until now I never got the chance to love and be loved in return. I envy my friends because they got to experince love and all its heartache. However, I know my time will come. I know he's just out there and I am gonna meet him when He knows I'm ready. So,stay still cause in time he'll come.

I never thought I would meet someome that would end up changing my world for the better. Things haven't always been easy for us but I am so gald we found our way back now as friends hopefully one day more... I wouldn't be the woman I am today had you not come into my life and shown me what true love is, how exhilirating it is to break out of your comfort zone. All I want is for you to be happy, truly happy and free of the demons that haunt your past. I never let go because aside from loving you there was never a safer place in the world than in your arms, always you my country boy

Though the years have passed, it's still hard to imagine you not here. I still feel that day as if it was yesterday. Holding your hand as you took your last breath, telling you it was ok to go. You would be amazed at the world around us now. Your children are happy, healthy and living life to the fullest to the point there are many new grandkids. Keep watching momma, it's ever changing. Dragonflies are everywhere in our world. Love you and miss you everyday! Love, Your one and only daughter.

Every young girl dreams of finding her Prince Charming. For me, I remember saying I’m looking for my Spark. Both the undeniable connection with another person and the incredible lead roles from my favourite author. I have been lucky enough to be with my Spark from the age of 16. A marriage, children and many houses later, he is everything and more I could’ve dreamed of. The perfect gentleman, amazing father and leading man. As if he has been plucked straight out of a Sparks book. A book I will never put down. Love Always and Forever. My Best Friend.

Life goes on even when life ends. It took me a long time to realize this fact. I am still here and I need to live the rest of my life, not hide away from reality. I miss you every day, and I will not miss you any less if I am enjoying my life. Before you left this earth you told me to move on with my life. With my fingers crossed behind me, I promised you that I would. It's 12 years later and I am moving on.

I have been searching for you for more than two years. I used to see you every day in high school and now I don't even know where you live. It seems like it was never our time in high school. Then we took different paths in life. I would like to talk to you and see what life has brought you. Still looking for you, Beck

I miss you terribly. I know that our relationship just wasn’t meant to be. You are 21 and I am 46. It hurt so much the day that I told you that you needed to be with someone who could give you love and lots of babies. I really want you to be happy and find joy in your life everyday. I tried to teach you that in the time that we were together. You brought me so much joy. You will have a special place in my heart and my memories. I love you. B

You are the light, The setting sun On the outer banks, The wind that sways The long beach grass, Constant beat Of rope on mast. You are the wind, The ocean breeze at Morning tide, Wondrous whispers Red and gold, Vibrant light Of joys untold. You are the storm, Head held back and Arms outstretched, Rhythmic rain and Distant dreams, Voices lost in Wild extremes; The hope and dream The perfect storm, The ship's at sea, The breaking dawn. December 2018

I miss you, we all miss you. So much has changed since you left us, we have Grand girls now! Three of them! You would truly love them all so much and there is no doubt that you would be their favorite and they adore me! I would gladly give you that space if only I could. We could have lost our lovely Kate a couple of years ago andI needed you so much I could hardly breathe. She is better and her life with Tom is good. Patrick is such a great dad, he reminds me of you so much only he is much more hands on! He and Michelle are amazing. You own my heart, Stella

 It was 37 years ago the first time I saw you and my heart whispered " He is the one". Now your facing cancer and my heart now whispers " I wish I would have met you sooner so we could have loved longer". You are my love and my soul, now and ever. There will be no more whispers. I love you.

 If anyone had of told me that I would be a widow at 37... I would have called them crazy. After 4 deployments and a career as a fireman, I counted you as invincible. You weren't afraid of anything, except for losing me. You walked into one last fire, and never came out again. If I had only known that I would never hold your hand again, or kiss your lips, or rest my head on your shoulder, I would have never let you go. Every day is a battle. It's been almost a year, and it hasn't gotten any easier. I see you everywhere I look, I hear your voice in everything I do. I miss you.

I wish every day I could hear your voice just one more time. In 2012 we lost touch & I’ve searched in vain for you because I need you to know that you were and are the love of my life. Your NC spirit walked into my life and found the deepest most amazing part of my TX heart! I would love just to know if your alive, doing well, are happy, and miss me as much as I do you. Without a doubt you showed me what true love & acceptance is and I trusted you 100% with all of me. Ive never found that in anyone else in all of these years. Please find a way back to me. All my love.. Your Baby Brat

You are my soulmate and we should have been together 32 yrs ago but life had other plans. I wanna be with you but I know you are in a difficult situation and feel so trapped but you know I will always be here for you. You have my heart and soul and I will never give up on you. You told me you wouldn't let me get away again so I will wait for you. I know in my heart that we belong together and God will make it happen.

He was my safety net during a period of free falling uncertainty. Before him, I was in an abusive relationship for four years and finally escaped by merciful grace. I endured emotional and physical abuse, but remained constant out of fear and uncertainty of the future. Once released from my cage, I was determined to take time for myself. To learn to love and appreciate myself again. I met him one week later. I almost walked away; certain that I was too broken for anyone and unsure of how to have a true relationship. Four years later, our marriage is plentiful and he is my rock. He mended me.

I miss you every day mom. It is hard to believe you have been gone almost a year. October 28th will be difficult. There is still guilt that I feel about your last day. I sat with you at the hospital, watching you sleep. The doctors said you had a stomach bug. You were so quiet. You were never quiet. You always entertained and talked to whomever would listen. People loved you and you loved people! They were your hobby. Those last moments with you, I saw the fear in your eyes. . .I am so sorry I missed something, I am so sorry I didn't persist with the doctors. My heart is broken.

I feel we grow as a person ,like a butterfly and with better thought's and feelings makes us better people and mama's. Narrow minded people don't give us room to change for the better! We find Love in other ways ! Change the world for the better ,so we can leave it beautiful for our children! Smile at everyone we meet and great ! Nod and grin and keep going on! Sir God has blessed me with another day!

You will always hold a special place in my heart!! You helped me through a very difficult year after my Dad passed away in 2009!! You were my friend...you held me close on a lot of lonely nights. I fell for you hard. I wanted just a little bit of commitment from you. You wouldn’t give me what I craved for, so I left you for another. That was a disaster. After leaving him... I had hopes of rekindling what we had, but it wasn’t meant to be once again. You are now with another and I know I will never have a chance with you again. Carolyn

I've loved you from the moment we met in college. You were there for me when no one else was and became my guardian angel. No one messed with me because they knew you had my back. For 39 years we've been close, living through each other lives in parallel universes. Now I see that a great deal of the continuation has been on my part and you just responding. I want to feel important, too. I want you to reach out to me, too. It's come to the point that I feel like "why try?" But it's so hard to give up on our past. I'm at a loss. I honestly don't know what to do.

I am not unique. There are thousands of people just like me. I made really a really poor choice and it landed me in a prison cell. I have been free for 6 years. If you saw me you would never know how tragic my life was because I made significant choices not to let the mistakes of my past dictate my future. I have changed my life and work to help other change theirs. I want people to know that anyone can make a mistake and end up in prison. We need more compassion for people who have made mistakes. We can all change. We all need to realize life cannot be defined by one bad choice.
