You never know when you are creating a memory for someone else! I giggled the day that John told me he saw me walking in to Mainely Brews that he thought to himself, "Who is shhheeee"??? What he didn't know then was that I was walking in from expressing milk for my amazing little man, Jamieson, and then partying like a rockstar with my sister and friends at Mainely Brews. He walked up to me later that night...I hear this voice say, "Hello Tonya"! I turned around and saw him and was so excited that I nearly knocked his drink out of his hand. We exchanged the typical "hello, where have you been, what are you doing these days" and then we parted. My sister Kari said, "I don't know if you noticed that guy over by the bar...he is quite smitten with you". I said, "I know"! LOL!!! Mikki and Jay kept telling me to go over and talk more---well, Mikki was more like begging me to. So, I did what I never like to do and I approached this mysterious man that I have known all my life but didn't reallllyyy know. I asked him about his sister who was one of my closest friends when I was growing up. I shared some old time stories of him at his house...growing up. I was completely connected to him. It was oddly amazing. I was just out for the night, no conversation going on in my head about meeting a man, wasn't interested in dating at the time and then this AMAZING guy shows up out of nowhere! :-) He's got his stuff that he's dealing with in his life, I've got my stuff that I'm dealing with in my life and we both have the space to be with all of it.It's been a short while that I've known him at this level but it feels like it's been longer. He's amazing with my son, he's got two beautiful kids and the experience is that this is the gold at the end of the rainbow! ;-)
I love ALL of you John William Heaton-Jones! Thank you for being in my life, for making a difference, for coming into my life as a wonderful surprise. For loving me, for loving Jamieson. You bring, love, beauty, & inspiration into my life. I love that I get to be me--nothing hidden with you. MMMMmmmmwwwaaahhhh!!
