It's a 2 way street! By Lorna

It's very easy to become friends with John. He's a confident bubbly character with a zest for life and a genuine interest in people. He also has a unique sort of honesty that is usually hard to find! And the same daft sense of humour that i do! And you ladies may also have noticed he's a bit of a charmer too! He's not slow to deliver compliments although they are sincere and heartfelt. 

I could say these are the reasons I fell for him but the truth is 'we fit together'. Something clicked and it was like meeting the person who should've been by my side forever! 

In the years that John and I have been together he has given me self confidence and belief in myself in all aspects of my life. I hate to admit that I was slightly downtrodden when we met. Battered and bruised by life and struggling to find my place in the world. A relatively young mum with 3 kids one of which was still a toddler, a fairly recent diagnosis of dcm and heart failure. I think I felt like I was written off by life and I had no one telling me I was still 'viable'. 

John encouraged me to go for a promotion at work, he became a sounding board when I had obstacles, he encouraged me to make my own decisions rather than just tell me what I should do and he did it all whilst making me laugh and feel treasured. For the first time in my life at the age of 34 he told me i 'looked pretty'. 

So when John talks to people and posts blogs and says that I support him and people say 'oh John your so lucky' they simply don't know the other side of 'our story'. That I consider myself 'blessed' to have this man come into my life, enhance my life and love me unconditionally. 

So thank you my Batman and never forget that I love you John xxx
