Something Special

This is how my husband has always made me feel.  I have never met someone who loves me so much.  He shows his love for me and our children daily and for these reasons he will always be my Something Special.

I had just moved into my 4 bedroom 2 full baths and a full basement home with my children.  Kamilah now 17,  Akil six and Aminah was one.  I was chatting with my friend on the phone one day and he said that he was going to find him a mail order bride on line, at this time it was the summer of 2006, I had given up my Internet for another short story I just remembered of.  Well anyway, I said you know what I am going to find me someone too.  So I pulled my computer out of the closet bought me a desk and signed up for the Internet once again, the last time was September 2001 I had had the net.  I decided to sign up with Black planet and i set out to look for my African King.

Ever since I was a little girl I longed to have a connection with Africa; I use to think I was going to adopt a child and care for them from a far, because of the save a child shows on late at night.  I was online for eight months until I met my King.  I talked to about a dozen men, I first started seeking men here in the states and they were so disappointing, I wanted someone who wanted me for me and not my body or sexual prowls and in America that is a hard task to accomplish.  I didn't have a lot to bring to the table at the time, so my standards were set low.  I then began to seek refuge outside the states and I commenced to find Malik.  I first set my eyes on Nigeria because I think that was the country at the time that women were seeking men from.  I was not a Nigerian kind of girl; my vibes for this place was not a good one.  I then turned to Ghana, and my first love was Eric, he sent me pictures through the mail, they took forever to get here but at that time web cams were expensive and most Africans did not have them.  I soon realized I was part of a scam and moved on. Okay first let me say this, I did not once get scammed out of money.

Okay now the next time I decided to search it was about eight month into my search and I said that I am going to try one more time and if I don't find anyone I'm shutting this box down once again, I was not into computers as much as I am now.  I think because I was a secretary and worked with them all day and had no desire for them at home.  Okay now I was searching and I stumbled upon two guys that i found interesting.  One was from Benin and the other from Ghana, I most attracted to the Ghana guy but the Benin guy showed much more interest, so I started taking to him and he had web cam; so we would meet and all he would do is look at me and tell me how beautiful I was.  I was so bored with him all the while still wanting for a reply back from the Ghana man.  I sent him a message and got no replay, I found that strange and it would show the last time he was online and he was coming online but did not replay.  So one day I said to myself I don't want to talk to the guy from Benin.  I am going to send on last message to this man and if he don't reply I am done.

To my surprise he finally responded back to me with one question when he left me a reply back.  "Do you have web cam"  I replied back yes and he wanted to meet before anything.  Well I told him but of course we can meet.  I found it refreshing that he was not trying to sale me a dream and he was cautious just as I was.  It's been six years and I swear he loves me more than he did yesterday.  I am so very grateful to have him and I will do anything to keep our union bonded.  The love I have for him is mutual and in this blog.

Since my husband came into my life I have loss my father and gained a partner, he was there for me then and still there for me now.  He supports me going to school, he works hard to make my dream come true.  He is loyal and thinks of me in all that he do.  He will give me the shirt off his back and the shirt under that one if I wanted or needed it.  He treats me like a lady and always touching feeling and loving me in a tender and gently way.  I love my husband and I just wanted to write about why he is my Something Special and one day I will shower him with all that I have to offer.  More to come later.
