Tuesday 18th October 2016......the women in my life!!!!

In my 68 plus years I have been very honored to date and have relationships with some amazing women...I even ventured down that path called matrimony but that was a wrong turn for me that ended quite quickly....

This is not an egotistical post but I have had some fascinating experiences and I feel blessed to have met these special women but there is one that really stands out for me and I want to tell you about her....

We met in the summer of 2006 in Washington State and whether you believe in it or not to me it seemed like love at first sight....she was engaging with a delightful disposition, gorgeous to look at and she treated me like I was the only man on the planet what man could not fall for her??.

She was American so we spent many months in the States and as she loved the open road and seeing new vistas as much as I did a lot of our special times were moving around......we camped at the base of majestic mountains, by the sweet smelling forests, at secluded beaches and life was just good for both of us.

We had 6 glorious years together and really only a couple of small hiccups in that whole time....I introduced her to my family and close friends and we seemed to be set for life...but sadly there came a time in the summer of 2012 when we decided to part company..we talked for hours about the directions our lives were heading and at that point I needed to see more of the world and wanted to travel and live in a different country and she was not able to join me in these intended moves...so we ended our relationship but it ended so sweetly, no angry words, no regrets just loads and loads of happy memories.........

I moved to San Miguel to live and she stayed here in Nanaimo...and I think we have both done well in our separate lives.....

Today I decided to go visit and say hello and see how she was making out in her life and I was thrilled to see her and to know that she is doing so well.....she has a new man in her life now who treats her the way she deserves to be treated and she is totally happy  as am I.

So it was a day of mixed emotions for me ....

Say hello to my special friend!!!

My Ramona!!!!!
