To be close and wish you the best in everything that happens in your life, Jesse, is something that I wish to do. :) I am far away, but I can send you prayers every night. I got you in my heart, Jesse. May God watch over you and may you find the happiness in this life. Thank you for sharing your heart.

Good for you sweetie pie. I remember what a joy new love can be. And much love and good wishes to you and yours on your surgery and recovery. If I can be a Nosey Parker what kind of surgery is it? Karen

Thanks, Karen, for your supportive review.
New love is grand.
The upcoming surgery is on my neck and spinal column. My neck will be fused and strengthened so, it won't hurt so much.
Thanks for being a Nosey Parker!
Take care,
Jesse

It's nice to hear you are experiencing joy in your life, Jesse. It sounds like you have found a special person that adds joy and love to your life. I like your reference to a complex sentence, and that you will have the support from her for your upcoming surgery. It can make a big difference in many ways. It is always nice to share inner feelings with someone special.

Wishing you the best for your upcoming surgery and your new relationship. I am very happy for you. Take care and be well.

Yes, Kelly will be there when I wake up from my surgery and will be there when I go back home again. Life is better when shared with someone you love.
Thanks, Bill, for your positive feedback.

I'm really happy for you that you have found love, and that it has given you a renewed purpose. You're definitely right in what you say, that we do need to make more time for each other, especially our closest friends and family. A well written piece. I enjoyed reading it.
