Meant to be

We have all heard the saying that people come into your life for a reason and I am firm believer in this. I have not had much luck when it comes to relationships I seem to pick the guys that like to beat and abuse woman. I knew there must be more to life than just being abused all the time. I decided I was going to try and find a guy that treated me like the human being that I am. I went on the dating app Plenty of Fish (POF) and began chatting to a couple of guys but lost interest, I was a nurse at the time working 12.5 hour nightshift so didn't have much time to socialise outside work. One night at work whilst on break I went onto POF to check my messages when I saw a name that I knew... Mark Taylor. Me and Mark are from the same town and we attended the same primary school, so you could say we were kind of childhood friends. I moved away when I was 11 and Mark thought I had passed away as there was another girl with the same name who passed away and Mark had gotten mixed up. I must admit I had seen Mark when I was in my early 20's he was walking into a shop and he caught my eye, he is hot I thought to myself and that was it I hadn't seen him for years and now he has messaged me, the funny bit is he had no idea who I was. I replied to his message Mark Taylor... I got a reply "how do you know my name"? and then it dawned on him, Michelle King your alive. We got chatting, I had a sense of comfort with Mark right from the start I could'nt believe my luck to be honest I was well punching and I was well happy a nice guy for a change. We arranged to meet up in person, I was nervous as the door went, I opened it and he was there smiling "long time no see stranger" I had an instant connection with him and wanted him so bad. We sat and talked about old times and how we came across each others path. I had moved back to my home town I had been there for over 2 years and Mark had no idea I was even there. That was it me and Mark became unseperatable when I was not at work I was with him, we went out cycling, walking, swimming all the things I loved to do another bonus. Me and Mark had similar back grounds, we both moved out of our house aged 16 and moved in with someone 8 years our senior. We both had problems in our relationship and we were both brought together for a reason. Mark realised my life had been pretty crap until that point and I was pleased to see he was nothing like my ex's. My dog Buddy loved him and that was a good sign for me. As time went by me and Mark got to know one another better and decided we wanted to start a relationship together my heart was bursting with joy I felt so happy. We moved in with eachother quite quickly but I knew deep down this was the guy for me I felt it in my bones. We have bought our first dog together and are trying for a baby. We have been together almost 4 years and we continue to grow stronger, this man has taught me true love and kindness, he has healed me from a very traumatic past. He understands me like no one on earth including my own family, he is the only man that makes me feel safe and for once in my life I am content. He has taken on my son as his own even when my son has meltdowns Mark is still here and that says a lot. I can truly say god brought me my soulmate, my twin flame and I stand strong because of him. He is my Hero and I will eternally love him and remain loyal to him until my last breath. I want to thank POF as if it weren't for that app who knows what might of happened, Mark feels god brought him to us and I am so thankful he did. We are together forever now, we are building the life we both deserve and wow happiness is an awesome emotion. Life works in mysterious ways, I have a connection with Mark a connection I have never ever had with anyone else. We have our issues like everyone else, I love this man with my whole being and I will do whatever I can to make him happy he deserves it. We are building a strong unit and he is teaching me how to be a better person inside and out. He casts no judgement on me, he accepts me for me like I accept him for being him. He has shown me happiness and now the world is our oyster, adventures to be had and memories to be made and to be honest I wouldn't change it for anything in this world. Mark I love you from the bottom of my heart thank you, you are my hero.
