No, I am not that Larry. I am 33 and very well off. I own a restaurant on downtown State street in Santa Barbara. I was married to the person who introduced me to your blog.

We are still friends. She was honest when she told me that she was gay and wanted to be so full time. I still love her very much. But I want her to be happy. So I wished her and my chief chef the best.

They married during the time when it was legal in CA. I attended as the best man. She gave me 13 very good years. And she is still my best friend so I feel lucky that it all worked out so well.

I’ve finally decided to start looking again. We were married at 17. I was 17; she was 23.

She was my baby sitter since I was 7. I guess she just got tired of that job. I miss her some times when I wake in the middle of the night and realize she is gone.

But I date often, it is just no one seems to measure up to her. You have her gift for analyzing a situation and and speaking up about it.

I admire that. And you are so beautiful. So I threw my hat into a ring that doesn’t exist. It was a fantasy. Forgive me, if It was offensive, that was not my intention.

Hey, I feel better and more lady like already. I guess you were right Fatima.

TP this was not a criticism of you. I loved your poem. It was beautiful and so endearing.

My husband called it a disgrace by Michelle for allowing it to be printed. If he is reading this, I repeat YOU ARE A VERY JEALOUS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
