When I met her, I swear my soul knew she was for me. I stopped in the doorway and literally stared for a few solid seconds. Then, of course, proceeded to shake her hand like the gentleman I am. For the next 6 months I was tested by an absolute attraction to this girl. My lesson and my test was to practice self control. To not react from my feelings, but have faith in something bigger than me and not interject myself into the things I want so badly. Over this time, I got to see bits and pieces of her. My love for her really started to grow. I had no idea she felt the same way and I tried to drop all the not-so-subtle hints that I was gayyyy. BUT, timing wasn’t on my side. So, I had to decide if I was going to cut myself off from this beautiful soul, and keep it moving, or if I was going to be selfless and just love her as my friend. (I don’t need more friends. Lol) but she was worth the selflessness to tame my desire & be in her life as whatever role I could be in. My friendship is not without tough love though. So, I also decided that I was gonna let her know how precious she is and that I was disappointed to not see her acting like it with her life circumstances at the time! Fast forward to my car breaking down on the way home & having to get rides to work…. My new lil friend offered to take me to the car dealership to get a new whip! As I had accepted my role as “friend”… I stopped worrying too much about the absolute adoration I had for her. I really had no idea if she liked me back or not. Turns out, the car dealership was our first date! My love for her only grows deeper. I know now that Justice was placed in my life at just the right time. We had some lessons to learn and we needed each other for that growth. Justice is an absolute blessing in my life and I am beside myself that this is where I am at today. She fits perfectly into our little family and my heart is so full each day. I have never known a selfless love, outside of my kids. But today I have it.
