Some Fairy Tales Come True

    I am missing WindRider and decided to write this.

    Sometimes people wonder if a fairy tale can come true. Sometimes it does. Sometimes you give up one soulmate to only to find a better one later.

    Many years ago, I had met my soulmate. A wonderful woman who wanted to spend the rest of her life with me. Unfortunately, we figured out that if she married me, it would ruin her life. Long story, but simple conclusion. We discussed it for two weeks, and decided to part. I walked away for her sake. It was the hardest thing I ever did. I knew I would never find a woman as wonderful as her.

    I eventually married someone else, someone who was a friend, but not a soulmate. A huge mistake.

    During my years as a Witness, I met many older people in field service who had very loving marriages. The storybook kind where both partners are madly in love with eachother till the end of time. My heart ached, because I knew my wife and I would never have a love like that. Eventually, we divorced. I realized I would never have a storybook marriage. No one should believe fairy tales could come true. I’m an adult and I knew better.

    I was wrong. As an atheist, I didn’t know God made WindRider.

    When WindRider and I met on-line, I found she was too good to be true. Her emails oozed sweetness. I found a soulmate who understood me, who had a sharp mind, and a sharp wit. Though she did not ever realize it, she was also very sensuous. All of this from just emails.

    We agreed to meet in person, and I found that WindRider is a stunning beauty! Talk about lucking out or what… Oh, yeah, she is very sensuous, very feminine, and very classy.

    More importantly, she has a wonderful heart, and a personality and intellect to match. And a love for me that has no end. And she has brought out a love in me that is so deep that I can not describe it. My words and my body cannot convey the depth of my love for her. As the years go by, our love for each other gets deeper and deeper.

    I am missing her because for a time I have to stay in Canada and so I cannot see her as often as I need to.

    When I was a teen, I had a fantasy about what my perfect wife would be. It has changed little over the years. The woman I envisioned was too perfect to be true, so I didn’t look for her. It is silly to try to find someone who can live up to a fantasy. And I had quite the fantasy!

    Alas, WindRider does not match the fantasy. She actually surpasses it! Even the sexually explicit parts….

    The fairy tale has not ended yet. I have to wait until I can be with her again, but she is worth the wait. And then we have a lifetime of fairy tales to make together…

    Missing My Love,
    Richard

    That is so sweet. What a special lady your windrider must be. Your story is inspirational, I too am a practical person who beleives that fantasies are just that and we can not really hope to find that perfect soulmate. Many times I have considered settling for a wonderful man who treats me well but lacks that special connection, and have always decided against it. Then wondered if I was being overly picky. Thank you for your inspiring story that true love can come true. And waiting for a soul mate is not selfish.

    hungry4life,

    Yes, she is very special and I feel so lucky.

    I was a practical person who did not believe in fairy tales. I did learn that it is better to not marry than to marry the wrong person. And now I learned that fairy tales can come true!

    Thank you for your compliments. I will return one by saying that I really like your signature. It is a belief every one should follow throughout their life. So you have also inspired me.

    LOL Skeptic, usually these kinds of stories end up with punches being thrown on the Jerry Springer show.

    What I'm saying is, I hope yours will be the one in a million true love of your life and not the usual carbuncle posing as a dream come true.

    How wonderful for you that would be.

    Ah sweetheart... Thank you! I'm missing you too As you can tell, I am obviously home now, the boys are in bed and I have a moment to myself.

    The hardest part about being so madly in love with you is that it makes leaving you each time so unbearable. It's funny but you are the skeptic and yet it was you who taught me to believe in things like true love, and ever after and that you CAN make your dreams come true if you dont give up. You, above all, know how much you have given back to me and if I lived to be a hundred it wouldnt be long enough now that I have found you! Each day is precious, regardless of the obstacles and hurdles we face, both together and separately; and no matter what life throws our way I know it will be alright because no matter how bad it gets, I have your love and you have mine...and that is everything that really matters isnt it?!

    Hungry4Life, I dont think holding out until you find your soulmate, or the person you cant live without, as opposed to just someone you can live with, is being selfish at all. Quite the contrary. Everyone deserves to be loved deeply and cherished. No one wants to be the person that someone just "settles for". Hang in there for you never know what each day might bring or who you might meet.

    And LDH, speaking for myself, Richard is the most amazing man I have ever been fortunate enough to meet and while it might seem corny or schmaltzy to say, he is the man I always dreamed of as a little girl and grew to fear I would never meet. He really is my one in a million true love.I realizeeveryday how fortunate he and I are and how rare what we have is. I try never to take it for granted. Heaven knows, I dont want to end up on Jerry Springer!

    Sincerely, Robin

    Richard & Robin,

    What a pleasure to hear that the story continues. I've been offline for the last three months and have wondered about the two of you on and off before that.

    It seems that a few of us that met back on the old H2O spend far less time here on JW.com than we did back there.

    Just had to say hello, and all the best to you for this new year.

    Richard and Robin,

    I am so happy for both of you, that you've found each other and found happiness...the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

    As for fairytales and dreams coming true, sadly, I don't think that is the case for everyone. There are those few lucky people in life who find their soulmates and weather the storms of life together, but I think for many of us, that just isn't the case. I won't "settle" for someone as I wouldn't want someone to do the same with me but I also have lost all faith in dreams and fantasies. I've lost too much of myself to be able to hold onto such ideals...but hey, I still have my sense of humor! (even tho it's not in evidence at the moment )

    Sorry if this sounds a bit negative; I don't mean to take away from your story at all. This is just a subject that has been very much on my mind lately.

    Best wishes for you both,
    Dana
