Ooooooooops!!!

Just like yesterday, I got a message from her. It came as a surprise—yet devastating news. But I allowed time to play its part, to let it sink in, really sink in. Yeah! It eventually did, and I started seeing myself in a new image, a new figure, a new status—perhaps a new man. The feeling was indescribable. I wasn’t sad; I wouldn’t say I was happy even though I was, but it wasn’t complete happiness. I thought about where I was coming from, where I was, wishing I could have changed things and made them happen the way I planned. So, I wasn’t in the middle; I was closer to happiness than anything else. I was overwhelmed at the same time, so I shed tears of joy! It’s a gift. Yeah, a wonderful gift from God. I felt it wasn’t the right time, but I wanted it. I wasn’t prepared. I was caught napping—at my lowest. A period when I was just trying to gather my pieces and bits. I had some of them but didn't know where to place them. And then the news came—it was sometime towards the end of August 2013. It made me! That news made me who I am today, different from who I was last year. Exactly one year ago, I was homeless, unmarried, not man enough—blind to so many things. I just lived! Now, I have a purpose for living. I have a home, not just a roof over my head. I have a friend, and that friend is now my wife. 😄 All in one year! I’m blessed; God blessed me with all these within a year. So, today, exactly one year after the first news, I received the same news again. This time, it’s instant good news! The feeling is different. I danced around the living room with butterflies singing in my belly while I moved to the rhythmic tunes. I really can’t wait to see you... sobs (The writer became so emotional, his hands too shaky to continue writing). 😜 Thanks for reading.
