She and I dated nearly a year when the action of my ex-GF (lies to authorities about me supposedly being a major drug trafficker, out of revenge for replacing her, unfortunately) resulted in my incarceration for the next nine years. So we have been together just over a decade, but much of that was spent in a long-distance relationship, old-school style. Yet she visited me every month, in every place I was ever held, and she and her family came to all of my hearings and trials. [Edit to Add: She was in court the day I was exonerated, too. I was not there, busily enjoying my cage.]
I was already falling pretty hard for this woman, and she with me, which is why we decided to have a baby before I went in; that's our nine-year-old. Over the years, her character as both a partner and a mother, as well as being my favorite friend, has been growing in luminosity. She is The Girl Who Waited, and I have loved her more every day than the day before.
After going through testicular cancer surgery and radiation, the doctors didn't think I would ever have children again... they estimated an average of 6.8 years of trying in order to be successful, which was Bad News because I'm 39 and she's 32, and in 7 more years she'll be almost 40 and I'll be in my mid-40s, which increases the chances of many things going badly with a fetal development, sperm quality, etc.
Turned out it only took us one weekend. How do you beat 6.8 years? Wait 9 years, first! We expect him or her (don't know yet; missed an ultrasound appointment due to other emergency) at the end of January.
wow congratulations she is due in 3 months end of jan shes 6 months now ? does she want to know if boy or girl
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one - John Lennon
