Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

I recently finished up a break-up of my 2 1/2-3 year relationship with Kerri.
The breakup lasted about a year. We've been living apart for about five months, but still saw each other a lot. My buddy claims it's the world's longest breakup ever.

The last month or so I've been seeing a girl named Annie, and we're fast falling head over heels.
Kerri was 34, Annie's 48. Both gorgeous and brilliant.
Today Kerri and I wrapped up the whole imaginary divorce and once and for all agreed to disagree and took care of the last of the property distribution. :)
Annie has waited patiently and supportively while I mop things up, and has become a friend like I've not had in years.
She's beautiful, loving, not nuts, doesn't drink or drug, and loves God more than life. She's got a 15 year old daughter that my daughter adores, and she's a brilliant, gifted, loving and well brought up child.

I've been best of friends with her entire family for years, but never really got to know Annie.
The best part is we came together through Christ, both of us praying for the same gift at the same time. We talked last night, and we've decided to just let 'er rip.
We also agreed to screw things up, back up, and love the other more than ourselves.
I haven't seen her yet today, and I'm excited. It's the first day of a brand new start. :wo
If you all would keep us in your hearts and send some prayers for us, it'd be greatly appreciated. :)

Good for you bro. I don't know you but you seem like the kind of guy that is deserving of such a relationship. Hope it works out for the both of you.

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

Good story, hoping for the best. Sounds like your daughter is happy with the situation as well!!

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

Best wishes for the two of you Scott. Sounds like your both on the same page in life. I'll smoke a nice one for ya'll tonight.

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

I'm happy and sad at the same time. Does that make sense, Scott? I wish you the absolute best on your new journey.

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

Here's wishing you all the best, Scott. I love the way you share your life with us. Makes me smile. :tu

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

I'm happy for you Bro!!!:tu

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

Congrats and best wishes!

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

Thanks for the story, Scott.

While sad, sometimes a breakup is just the only way to continue on with life. I can sympathize - I divorced my first wife after 4 years, and a year later met a wonderful girl who I have shared all of my trials and triumphs for the past 32 years.

I only hope that you can find the same happiness with Annie, and enjoy your life fully for many, many years. :tu

In order to help, I will be smoking something great tonight, as a sacrifice to the Gods of Tobacco and Fire to entice them in blessing your new relationship! :D

Congatulations!


:dance:

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

It makes perfect sense. Thanks buddy. :)

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

This all brought a tear to my eye and made me smile at the same time. Who said cigar smokers cannot be sentimental?? Congrats Scott.

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

Congrats to you and Annie as you begin this relationship with each other.

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

Well Scott what else is there to say but.....Go get her Tiger!!

I wish you luck with Annie, but more importantly I wish her LUCK with you;)

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

Best wishes on your life's journey :tu

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

Congrats...best of luck to you! She sounds like a great gal!

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

Best wishes on your new relationship.

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

I wish you the best Scott as you move forward. :tu You'll be in my prayers. :)

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

She'll do great.
She came in tonight to babysit cause I'm laid up in bed, helped me make ice bags, loved me up, and corrected my language. :)
It was a nice start. :tu

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

Hi Scott! This is Erika, Albert's wife. I think your story is so sweet and it is refreshing to see a man being such a hopeful romantic these days. I wish the best for you and Annie! I just thought you needed a girl's support! :)

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

Thanks Erika. :)
I need all the support I can get!!! :D

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

It nice to hear that you have turned another page while cherishing the book. Your family continues to grow, proportionate with your hearts capacity for love.

To answer Nick's question as posed by Elvis…
Nothing "funny about peace, love and understanding." :)

Re: Sad story, then a Happy story.
 

Good for you, my man. May blessings continue to flow for you both.
