How it all started! (part 1)

There's always a beginning, and I thought that's where I should start! Make sense? I thought so! I first have to say a few things, about the blog that is...I will be totally honest, and maybe tell you more than you'd like to hear, but it's not only for myself but for you and maybe just maybe it might help someone out there in our same situation.  You see this is our family and families are very different than what our parents and grandparents had. We have a blended family and both my husband and myself have been married more than once.

Once upon a time...you see our story is a fairy tale a modern one that is...our relationship started online, actually on facebook.  My father had been recently diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrigs disease) and I was searching for hope and any information I could get from individuals with ALS or loved ones with it. I had become friends with a few and learned there was no hope, no treatment and nothing they could do for my father!

I had been getting a lot of friend requests from friends on fb with ALS in common and I had a friend request from a man with ALS, David Jayne. I looked at his photos and found him very attractive both before his disease and after.  I accepted his friend request. If my memory serves me correct he emailed me privately thanking me for adding him as a friend on fb. Thus the story begins...It's late folks and I promise to continue tomorrow!
