Where do I start?

   Trying to figure out how to get the ball rolling here! Guess I'll start with where I'm at now. I'm with the woman I've always been in love with. Have you ever had a person come into your life, and for whatever reasons it doesn't work at the time, so you move on, but you never forget that person. That's my Shelly. We met when she was sixteen, dated, broke up, got back together when she was nineteen, broke up, didn't have any contact with each other for about eighteen years and we're back together for almost three years now. I tease her that "Third time's a charm" or "Three strikes you're out". But I can never picture her out because I feel Shelly is my soul mate. We have had a very trying year though. It started over a year ago. when Shelly had to start doing dialysis for a kidney problem she has had since she was ten. But on Feb, 25 2011 the absolute worst happened, Shelly's seventeen year old daughter passed away in a car accident. Since then we have both lost close friends and family members.It has been a very tough year for us both, but especially more so for Shelly. I feel so helpless all the time that I can't make her pain go away. It's so hard to see the one you love suffering so bad. Maybe doing a blog will help me vent some. Thanks for listening and we'll talk again soon, Kevin
