A Large HazMatt Spill

Well, This is my first post in what will hopefully be a long line of HazMatt Spills.

Ricci and Aaron (my sister-in-law and brother-in-law (we'll leave it at that because if you know the real truth you'll figure out I may be my own grandpa)), both have posts and it made me wonder if I should get involved in this evilness.

As you can see on by my Bio (hazard), I have been divorced, but I am the father of two wonderful Children, heh, I call them children, but one is an adult, and the other is going to be sweet sixteen at the end of the month.

I have also been widowed. I lost my wife Jill to Breast Cancer, I only got a few years with her, but they were the best part of my life. One of the hardest things that I have ever gone through, that according to everyone else I had to go through it to "make me stronger". I know that I had to go through it for many reasons.

• To learn about myself.
• To learn about how unthinking others can be.
• How to deal with that.
• To help my mom go through losing my dad.
• To know when to say goodbye.
• To help others learn more about Cancer.

I am currently Living (in sin) with my girlfriend and her three girls. A thirteen year old, a ten year old and a three year old. I have done something that I thought would never happen to me.

• Met someone as wonderful as Jill.
• Met someone who accepts me as I am.
• Met someone who loves me for me, not for what she can mold me into.
• Met someone who understands that there is a ghost in the house and accepts her for being there.

I met Heather at Karaoke. Neither of us were going to go. I went and sang my usual songs. Meat Loaf, Paradise by the Dashboard light. I looked down at the crowd and there was Heather, singing every word with me. A Meat Loaf fan, a karaoke singer, and is beautiful? Impossible. But NAY, there she was. We talked, and talked, exchanged phone numbers, texted back and forth, and the rest is the present.

Little did I know I had met her before, but I must not have been ready.

She moved out of the apartment she was living in and moved in with me. Yes, it's a little bit of a challenge for me to go from only me to 4 additional people, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.  We have some adjustments we are still making.

I enjoy the time I have with her, I will cherish every minute of it.
