There he stood in my doorway, on a beautiful beach day. The only thing brighter than the sun was his smile. The only thing warmer than the temperature was his eyes. It had been so long, so many empty years. I had been at the lowest depths of my life. But the comfort that exuded through the doorway toward me just pummeled my pain. I almost forgot my mom had died in this house. It's amazing what one email can do, what one swipe Fate's wand could create.
He was my best friend in high school, and I moved away for college and left him behind. We ate lunch together back then, just the two of us, almost every day. He was involved with a girl, and he had been sneaking around to see me, just to go to lunch at the Chinese restaurant for one afternoon, or to go to the mall to play air hockey at the arcade. Little did I know how important those moments had been to me. I felt more of a loss than I had ever expected when I moved away. Little did I know how important those moments were to him.
Four years of college went by quickly. There were drunken parties, nights of wild sex, and terrible hang-overs. There were nights of prayer: "Please God, just don't let me be alone tonight." I needed him and didn't know it. Once, I called his old house, and his mom answered. She told me, "He left for Gainesville with that girl. He doesn't talk to me anymore." I thanked her, tried to tell her that he'd come back to her. Then I tried information and found a number with his last name listed. I called. He came to visit once, but it was just a whirlwind trip to Disney with some other friends. There was a Chinese food dinner. And then he left. I didn't hear from him again in college. The girl he had been with in high school was still in his life. Again, he had lied to her to see me. I just didn't know the hell of his relationship with her. He thought I had a whole new life with great friends and that I was happy. We were both so wrong.
Graduation went by, as did another year. I worked in a beach shop and lived with my dad after my mom had passed. I dated here and there before and after college, still looking to "not be alone." I hated that I'd rather be with someone for one night than to be alone. It was sickening.
Then one afternoon, I sat down with a glass of wine and did an internet search at the University of Florida, I found his college email account—you know—the one no one really uses. But I sent an email anyhow. It was a long shot, but better than nothing. Three months went by, and I had given up hope. Then, a phone call, a frantic message: "Oh my God, I can't believe you found me. I never check that email account. I have been looking for you. When can I see you? Please call me." It was him. I called, and his roommate answered—he was not home. I said, "Just tell me one thing. Is he still with HER?" A chuckle and an abrupt no were the answers. A week later, he was in my doorway, just as I had remembered him. God, I had missed him.
We spent almost every weekend hanging out after that, traveling hours to see each other. I had the guise of other boyfriends, just in case this wasn't going to work. I couldn't get hurt by someone for whom I cared so much. Then finally, late one night after a lot of drinks, he asked me, "Why do you let these men treat you this way? I would never do that to you. I think we should be together, and that it's stupid that we are not." He presented what I would consider a legal argument to convince me to put a friendship on the line and go for it. I was hesitant, although it was what I wanted. I had made a mistake with a friend before, and I was not friends with this person any longer. But I said yes. It was 5 am. Jesus God, what was I supposed to do?
The first few weeks were tentative. I struggled against fears I'd never had before—that this might last, and it scared me. But I pushed on. He was the best for me, my soul mate, and the void I needed to fill. There was no more, "God, don't let me be alone tonight." There never will be again. After 5 years of dating, we married. He graduated, too. We have a lovely life together, and I could not ask for more.
This message is for you, Domenad, Anthony, my love. I loved you then, now, and forever. Don't ever doubt me. I am here always. And the warmth and love you exuded through that doorway after being away from you for so long has not gone away. If I had only known how strong you had felt before I moved out of your life. Happy almost 2 months, my baby.

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THAT MASSIVE HULK OF A MAN PLOWING YOUR FURROW WILL HAVE ON YOUR BACK?
LOOKS LIKE HES GOING TO GET A LOT OF "REVERSE COWGIRL" FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST FEW YEARS.

Does this really work for people with back pain? And I have been dealing with the "massive hulk of a man" for over 5 years now.
PS: The wedding has already occurred, so no one can be best man anymore. It was his step-dad.

Uber is important to him, and he spends a lot of time here. He will have a nice surprise when he reads this in the morning.

Or he'll be freaked out that you've planned your entire life together. I doubt it though, I think your gonna be ok.
Nice to know it can all work out sometimes.

You mean, "thank God I haven't posted in months," or if you are just obervant. But you do have a point! I have been not posting for some time (and reading more as a lurker.) Tonight I took time to do this for Tony, and I really enjoyed writing it, although don't consider myself a good writer by any means. But that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy reading the brilliat stuff others put on here.
The point is, as most of you know, Domenad is a wonderful man. We've had some tough times in the past few months with getting our careers on path, but we have finally reached some major goals. So I wanted to do this for him. Uber is important to him, and he spends a lot of time here. He will have a nice surprise when he reads this in the morning.
I will try to be more of a contributer, now that I can sit for longer periods of time (back surgery) and now that planning the wedding doesn't take every spare second.
Chris-bob: we really do need to have you fly, maybe during a break in school
