We were friends for nearly a year before I admitted I had feelings for him. He was an amazing best friend and we did everything together. He was my biggest supporter as my marriage to my ex turned nasty and tore me down and fell apart. He loved and supported the kids in everything from homework to dinner to bedtime tuck-ins and I knew LONG before I was willing to admit it that he was everything I had ever dreamed of in a husband and father for my kids. I loved spending my free time with him and I lived to see the smile on his face every time I walked into the room. All the support and love in the world was in each and every hug and I felt as though the world was right and the universe was balanced every time I was in his arms. When I realized that I never wanted to live a day without him, that I wanted to see his face and his smile and feel his arms around me each and every day, that is when I gave in and took the biggest chance of my life and kissed him. I had no idea that he loved me just as much as I loved him.
