Self Portrait Challenge- As a ? Week 3


Woman Loved

What did you want to be when you grew up? In my girlhood I wanted to be a mommy and have lots of babies. As a teenager I want a prince on a horse to sweep me off my feet, like a dime store novel. In my twenties I learned having kids meant I had to do it with a job. It was hard and my prince (ex-husband) turned into a toad. I was left broken and disillusioned. In my thirties I grew strong and happy without the love of a man. In my forties I was given the gift of real love. He rode in on my computer screen and swept me away. He loves me knowing what lies ahead and never looks back.

You deserve every ounce of love you receive. What is it with me that each time I visit here my eyes fill with tears? Happy tears, sad tears, all kinds depending upon the subject matter.

And Dave coming into your life was the beginning of a fairy tale few ever get to experience.

I love you, Tammy.

Perhaps being in your thirties and strong helped you find the right man for you!
there's lots to be said for being self succient and happy, but i can't think of anything better than the real love you can experience with another person.
and it looks like you'ver really found that Tammy.
i'm happy for you....you so deserve it. x

This is so beautiful Tammy. You can see the love you have for each other even in this picture. I guess it's true that sometimes you have to go thru a lot of toads to find your prince. I'm glad you finally found yours. Hugs, ~ Lori
