| It all started when I sent out and email entitled "Friends". It was one of those that you're supposed to pass on. It went from my list to another, to another, to another, and to one that Tami's addy was on. When I sent out to my list, it had the link with my pics on it. I thought nothing of it until I got a reply from an addy I had never seen before (usually with those I just delete them because 99% of the time it's spam, but for some reason, I decided to open it. All it said was "nice pic -tami". With that I replied back with "thank
you...yours are as well". That's how we first met online. We emailed back and forth a few times but it was kinda hard because I was going through "love life" problems at the time, my g/f and I were semi_separated but "trying" to work it out...but there was something about Tami and the way we were able to talk about anything that I have never experienced with anyone else. We emailed like we had been best friends for a long time. When my then g/f asked me if I had met anyone, I told her yes and that I was
becoming very good friends with her and was falling in love. I gave her Tami's email address and told her about her and I. Well of course she was furious and started emailing Tami and telling her to leave me alone and all kinds of stuff that can't be reprinted! I thought with all the trouble she was starting that I had lost Tami forever but in fact it was the
other way around. Tami told me she had never met someone so honest and that she admired me for being truthful and not hiding anything. To make a real long story short, with Tami's help I finally got my ex out of my new relationship. After a few weeks of talking, Tami introduced me to 40Plus. I told her...I'm not 40...probably won't be of any interest to me. Well she finally got me to come into the room and meet some of her friends. It was the nicest room I had ever been in. I wasn't shunned, ignored or anything like some rooms. Everyone was sooo nice saying hi...how are ya and starting "real" conversations. OK soooo now I have gotten to know Tami pretty well, have fallen in love with her and have met her online friends, but I was still reserved about telling her how much I loved and cared for her because I was sure she has heard all that before and I didn't want to scare her off so I bided my time and let Tami open up and show me her feelings. Well my patience paid off one day when I got home from work and had an email...'Tom...I just want to tell you I love you, not like a friend..or a boyfriend but much more than that...can't explain why I feel like this but it's true'. With that, I screamed "yes" she lovesssss meeeeeeeee...I had never hit the reply button soooo fast... I wrote: I have been feeling the exact same way. That I loved her very much, but I didn't want to say
anything to scare her away. After a couple months of talking on the phone and emailing, I had to meet Tami face to face. After some planning and "luckily" I had just gotten a
bonus from wor,k we arranged for her to fly out so we could meet. I mailed her money for the flight...got a hotel room reserved and got the ball rolling. I got off work the day Tami was flying in, grabbed my clothes, pillows, webtv, candles, champagne, etc. Went to our room got it all presentable with balloons, heart shaped shinys hanging from the
ceiling...anything I could think of to make it special. Sooo I got on line...checked the flight time to make sure it was on time...came to the room a couple times and got calmed down by LuvBug saying...she will be there..calm down Tom! About 1 1/2 hours before Tami's flight was expected, I drove to the airport...first stopping and picking up 2 dozen red roses with the little heart shaped balloons in them that said I Love You and I got to the airport...shaking like crazy...nervous yet sooooooo excited. That hour wait seemed like an eternity. When the plane finally arrived...I waited by the stairs/gate and watched "everyone" but Tami get off! I'm thinkin oh noooo she didn't come...but then all of a sudden I saw
those legs....my heart must have been throbbing a million times a second. I was sooo excited when I saw her face I could hardly control myself. I hugged and kissed Tami soooo tight I think we broke some of the rose stems! |

 | Your Love Amazes Me John Berry |
 |
I've seen the beauty of diamonds and pearls
But they mean nothing baby
Your love amazes me
I've seen a sunset that would make you cry
And colors of the rainbow, reaching cross the sky
The moon in all it's phases
Your love amazes me
Don't you ever doubt this love of mine
You're the only one for me
You give me hope
You give me reason
You give me something to believe in
Forever faithfully
Your love amazes me
I prayed for miracles that never came
I got down on my knees out in the pouring rain
But only you could save me
Your love amazes me
Don't you ever doubt this love of mine
You're the only one for me
You give me hope
You give me reason
You give me something to believe in
Forever faithfully
Your love amazes me
Your love
But only you could save me
Your love amazes me
