Everyone but me it seemed had a Facebook account, I just wasn't
interested, in fact, I didn't even have the internet. I know to most of
you this seems crazy. It's not that I could not afford it, I just didn't
want it. I worked 6 days a week and had 2 children. So I didn't have
time anyway.
One day while talking to my dad I asked him if I could borrow his
laptop and try to get my GED. He let
me and after I signed up for the program I checked Facebook. A friend if
my started me an account and loaded pics of me but I only logged in
maybe once a month. I saw that I had a lot of friend request to my
surprise all kinds of people from my past had sent me friend request . One in
particular really excited me. My very first real love. I had not seen
or heard anything about him in 18 yrs. I accepted his and almost all the
other request and proceeded to my msgs. He had sent me a msg asking me
if I remembered him. That floored me, of coarse I remember you never forget
your first. And that was my reply.
We talked the next day via Facebook
and finally on the phone. I was a nervous wreck. I was afraid he would
ask questions about the pics of my almost 18 yr old son. And he did. He
asked about the dad and I blurted out that I wasn't sure who his dad
was. There was silence for some time then it came... Do you think he is
mine? So I said there is a possibility. He drove a 5 he drive to get to
me a day later to have a DNA test done. He told me that after all these
yrs he still loved me. That he never got over me breaking up with him. I
was so happy to be sitting next to him.
The strangest thing was I didn't feel awkward around him it felt as if
we had been together all along. When he wrapped his arms around me it
felt so rite. He asked me to marry him and I said yes and moved that 5
he drive away from everyone I knew. Once again I didn't feel awkward it
felt like this is where I belonged. Sadly the DNA test showed my son
wasn't his. We were all three absolutely devastated.
I just knew that the one man I had finally allowed myself to fall in love with was going to leave my life again, I was wrong, we are still together. We have a wonderful relationship
and are embarking on some life changes. I look forward to spending my
life with this man. I owe it all to my dad for letting me borrow the
laptop,my friend who set up my account and Facebook for having this
social network available.
