I met this man 6 years ago today... in a time in my life where I was comfortable being single for the first time ever! In a time in my life where I actually wasn’t chasing after love, or boys, and certainly NOT a relationship, or children, or marriage.
When we met, I had been single for a little over a year. I had my own apartment and a little job at a greenhouse that I loved dearly, even if it didn’t pay very much... The day we met, I actually had already blew him off 😅 We had been chatting online for a few weeks and he had invited me to Ribfest in Petawawa but I told him I was busy with my friend that night... little did I know, she came flying through the door of my apartment telling me to get ready cause, we were going to Ribfest!!! 😬😬😬 #ooops lol
We texted me the whole ride up there and I didn’t tell him where I was heading. In my head, it was like... Ribfest must be big, what are the chances of us seeing eachother, let alone him recognizing me.
You know what they say, right: “If it’s meant to be, it WILL HAPPEN” ... well, we opened the door to go inside and the first person I fricken see is MIKE! 😳 We hit it off pretty instantly... he was funny, charming, handsome... and his eyes were enough to just make me melt in place. He took me completely off-guard and we spent the entire night together before he let me know that he was leaving for a 3-6 month tour to Poland in 2 weeks ... FUCK!
I was so sad, but at the same time, in one short night together he was able to restore my faith in men and love! In one short night he had showed me more chivalry than most of my past boyfriends had over the span of years so when he broke the news that his tour got pushed back a couple of weeks and we got to spend more time together, the decision to not date anyone in his absence and wait for his return to see where this could go was sooo damn easy to make!! I swore to myself that he’d likely forget about me while he was gone, but I was already happy being alone anyway, so what’s a few more months of it to see what happens?! To my surprise, the minute he landed in Poland was practically the EXACT moment I got off work one day and I received a call from {cont.}
