Ours wasn’t your typical Luv story.
I meet Rick at Heath’s house, who is now Heath & Michelle. When I look back, I think of how crazy that time was. I was living at my Friend Angela’s house because my youngest son Steven lite his room on fire and it burned down part of the house. We can all laugh now because no one was hurt. I met Heath and Mikey on New Year’s while we were all out celebrating the New Year of 1998! A week later I went to Heath’s house to invite him and Mickey over to my girls house to watch movies. While I was waiting for Heath, Rick walked in the door and we just looked at each other for a few minutes when I asked who he was. When he said Rick, I said I just was over to invite Heath and Mickey to come over to my girls house to watch movies. We talked some more, and he then said that Angela didn’t like him so he would pass. I said well Angela is not inviting you… I am.
He said yes and it has been unconditional love ever since.
We both came into this marriage broken from different marriages. I have 4 children, La’Nae, Bradley, Tison, Steven and 2 step children Tyler and Tabatha. Rick has taken this readymade family and loved us all. In all its corkiness. We have been through more than our share of what life can throw at a couple but our love has surpassed it all.
Rick is my Night in Shining Armor. He has taught me what our first vows really meant, through thick or thin, until death do us part. He has taken this broken mess and loved it through the loss of 2 children and has been my strength in life. Fore without him I would be nothing. I adore this man completely!
I was a mess writing this. Although there is so much I can say, I just tried to keep its simple. I never believed in soulmates or love at first sight, but I do believe in us. His is my one and only, my beginning and my end.
Thank you for everything!
Rick & Lori Luv story Blessing
When we meet someone so special that we feel
‘they complete’ us…
It’s actually much deeper than that, as we are All
Always Already Alright and Complete…
However,
life has a way of throwing curve balls that rock us to the core.
Love truly conquers all challenges.
Love is what life is all about.
On this ‘earth plane’ of existence,
there is naturally many challenges we must face.
Sometimes the pain and suffering is unbearable,
but with the help of our Knight in Shining armor, our Rock,
the Wind beneath our Wings…
We find the courage and strength to carry on.
The strength of true love gets down into the core of our ‘Being’,
giving us what we often need in life, just to have a fighting chance…
Love offers us Hope and Faith.
Like a storm at sea on a sailboat,
when we are in the midst of the challenge of survival,
we can only hold on for dear life and focus on what must be done…
Often the thoughts of ‘why did I put myself into this mess’
go thru our stressed out and fearful minds…
But
when the sun comes out and the storm goes away,
the tranquil beauty of our life and everything around it melts away all the tears and fears…
As we sail into yet another Blessed chapter of Life.
