Thanks everyone for the encouragement and great feedback. I’d say this post breaks a record for some of my longest comments in quite a while. The thoughts in this post have been in my head for a while and I just finally put them on paper. Sometmes voices things honestly without complaint is therapeutic – at least I hope this didn’t sound complaintive, just stating the facts.

Oh Eddo, Ms. Right will come along, you have seen alot of Ms. Maybes and could have been married many, many times. It is not all about meeting Ms. Right, it is about doing it right. You are on a mission from God to find the one He wants and if things don’t work out with the one YOU think is right, then obviously God is taking care of it from His end and making sure she is Ms. Right. When you meet her, she will be God’s Girl and then your girl, so remember…He goes before you, prepares your way and when He shuts one door it is always because He has a better one ahead!!! She is going to be exceedingly and abundantly above all you could ask or think cause that is how God provides for those who love Him. I love you son!!

I know one day you will find the perfect girl, you are a great guy and i know the right girl is out there for you! i want to thank you for loving elijha so much, i have watched you love on him and kiss him and hold him and it makes me so happy to know that he is loved, but i also realize that the day you become a father you will be one heck of a father and your babys are going to be crazy for you!

Thank you for the wonderful post, as usual! I do know some of how you feel, even though things have changed for me since then. It’s weird being on the other side too, being the one who is married now and starting to have kids and knowing that I lost all my single friends because it was just too difficult to balance the kind of lifestyle they have with what my life is becoming now…I have had this discussion with another blogger who basically believes it is the “married people’s” fault. I really don’t think it is anyone’s fault, I think sometimes it is difficult to maintain friendships across life stages. There is always some discomfort or awkwardness involved. But I think it is worth it in the end and you one of the only people I know who is good at maintaining that balance and keeping friends across life stages, even when it is painful. I really do believe this is going to make you a much better husband and father one day!

utterly touching post. though I am from the other side of the story: married for years, two great kids, and soon to be a grand mom, I know exactly how it’s on the other side. i have close family that experienced the same, and trust me, going thru with them the entire rigmarole is as painful if not more. But then HOPE is the biggest thing my friend, and more often than not it gets you where you wanna go. So cheer up!

I have tears in my eyes Eddo. I feel your words so strongly. I know the feeling so intimately. And yet, in my heart, I know that “The One” is very very close. Just still being prepared for you. Still germinating in the same longing, so that when your eyes finally do meet, you’ll both know immediately.
