Four years ago today, an internet conversation with a complete stranger began.  What caught my eye was his photo of a pug with a banana peel on it's head.  Captivating, I know.  Our mutual love for pugs (I had two, he had one), and obsession for creating fruit helmets for them, was the first of many attractions.  I knew I was in trouble.  Things moved very quickly from there.  We didn't want to let go, so we took a risk and we JUMPED right in.  Sometimes you just gotta go with your gut.

Today I sit here and cannot imagine my life without him.  Funny how that happens.  At the risk of sounding even more cheesy, I want to say...being with him brings out the best in me.  I feel more grounded, understood, inspired, hopeful, creative, passionate, and determined than ever before.  He just makes me better.  As if anything is possible.  Sometimes I wonder if all the little bits of life that formed who we are, then brought us together ; exactly where we were meant to be.  A random encounter with a stranger that turned into a happy life.  He is home to me.
