LOVE


When we met for the first time in Atlanta, introduced by mutual friends who were a couple, I instantly fell into deep like with him. Just a few months later – 6 months, to be exact – I knew that I loved him. How? Why? Because in my experiences, actions always speak louder than words. At the time, my Avondale Estates house sold faster than expected, and the Tucker house wasn’t available for two weeks. He came to my rescue and offered me a place to stay at the Marriott Suites in Buckhead; a complimentary benefit of his Marriott Vacation Club timeshare. He helped me put our stuff in storage, keeping just a few essentials, and the location was ideal for the commute downtown to GP. One year later, I fell head over heels in love with him when we spent a romantic vacation at the Ritz in Jamaica, a first-time visit for me.


Yeah, Mon!


Our two hearts were joined as one, and I knew that it was true love everlasting when he invited me and my daughter to spend Thanksgiving with his family. Accommodations at his parents’ house in D.C. felt like we had known each other for decades. This was where his aunts, uncles and cousins gathered for the big meal. I was interviewed extensively by protective, loving family members who wanted to be sure that I was worthy of his love and affection. As a divorced father with full custody of two elementary aged sons, he had no extra time to waste.


With every encounter, our hearts sang and leapt with joy and laughter! Five wonderful years of blissfully loving him ended when he died of cancer. He loved me so much that during the last few months of his life, he refused to allow me to visit him in the hospital. He wanted me to remember him as the strong, tall, dark, handsome, extraordinarily generous, brilliant man that he was.


I am so deeply grateful that I experienced such genuine true love in this lifetime.

In my book, Journal Reflections With 2020 Vision, read Love and Be Loved for more about my experiences with love.


Cherish every second of your life with the person you love. Create the precious memories that will establish how you will experience good love in your life.
