Thanks for the solid advice, fellas. I have decided to postpone meeting my Anna Marie until I resolve all previous obligations. One more promotion at work, later this year, and I should be able to handle all financial matters with the X. Money. That is all the X knows, that's all that remains of the girl that once was. My daughter is grown and on her own, God Bless her, she is not the issue. I feel sorry for the woman in America who have sold their souls and don't even know it..
I want to go to the PI to meet Anna Marie's family. I owe this to her. Every day she is at the Internet Cafe. Never late. She never complains. She has taught me more than five years in college. We spend up to three hours a day online and they pass like minutes. Her Mom, who I talk to on the phone occasionally, asked me what we talk about for so long. I don't know. All I know is that it seems like we just get started and our time is up.
We are celebrating a one year 'anniversary' on April 1st. That also has flown by. I am lucky to have a girl like Anna Marie. I am the first and only guy she has ever 'chatted' with. She is 21 and never been kissed. Her heart is uncluttered, pure and simple. She accepts my past, my present, and her only advice is to eat well and get lot's of rest. Body piercing or tattoos has no appeal to someone like her. She sounds simple, but she is wise beyond her years.
Sometimes we laugh and act like kids.. Who cares? No one is watching. This whole experience has been an oasis. I refuse to rush a minute of it. She has helped to open my eyes to the real meaning of life, and today I experience a new contentment...
So, what's another year to wait? We can forego the meeting in America. I am embarrassed by our over glamorized pop-culture no value way of life anyhow. I think I need to meet her parents first, and show my gratitude to them in person.
Your advice was appreciated guys. Thanks again....
