My Hubby, we are truly sole mates , we have known each other 35 years and married 25 of them.
He works alot that is what he likes to do but when we are together we have fun doing things as a team.
My childhood was a rough one and so was his but we made it threw and found each other and made the life we had only dreamed of having as a child, in a way we are both still kids at heart.

My son David

He is metally Challenged but he so polite and he is so helpful.My folks adopted him when he was 5 and he has helped them all the time my mother died in 2008 and he wanted to come to NC but I said our father would need him. He lives in PA with my father and he helps him when he falls and can't get up ( no pun meant) he goes to the neighbors and ask if he can do anything for them or if he see somene that is bringing groceries he help or he helps them take out trash or he has kept a eye on some people if they are on a ladder in case the person falls he knows CPR for a adult a chicld and a dog HOW MANY KNOW THIS FOR A DOG he has firstr aid training and has had to use it once he came up on a accident and help stop a persn from bleeding.

My son (no offence t anyone out there) is sthe child eveyoine would want he is so polite he makes you look bad so helpful it make you ashamed you are not like him. If he was normal I am sure her would eb the best of what ever he was to be in life. He is to have a gasteric bypass soon and will come live with me after that He is diabetic and my father is just to nagging for him and he needs to leave so when he has this done he will come live with me UNLESS he decides sooner.

I would love someone to do something he would like to do but I don't have the cash and he has been with my father and mother all of his life except for 4 year when he did live with me for a short time my mother lost the use of her legs and I sent him back to help he never once cmplaint or gave me I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE and even now he is not sure but my father can get on him and nag and not let it go and his sugar has got up to 500 and 600 and the stress I feel is too much for him so I am to take him out.


I don't know anyone likie my son and if every one was like him there would be no one fighting or anything all would be at peace.

One of my friends. She grabs life by the horns and doesn't let go! She has a beautiful smile, and can cheer anyone up with a greeting. I think this is something important, to be able to support others when they need it.

She also takes many of the smaller things like water off a duck's back. It's almost impossible to get into a serious argument with her.

Some of the other posts on this thread have made me smile. There are obviously a lot of special someones out there. Treasure them!

My wife stayed home and took care of our two sons and everything else while I was gone for numerous deployments during Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. She is strongest and sweetest person I have ever met. I don't know where I would be without her in my life for the last thirty years.

I don't know if I'm "the most amazing person I know" but as I'm nearing the end of my time in Buffalo, I have to remind myself that I was pretty "amazing" myself for having gotten through it.

I decided to go back to school a few years back, but then was also offered a job here, and decided to relocate from Long Island and make a go of it (and go to school here, instead of where I'm from). I moved to Buffalo June 1, 2009.

The job turned into a nightmare -- not as it was described, on the verge of collapse. I worked 70 hours a week for five weeks, until I was fired when the owner heard from someone else that, after still not receiving a paycheck, I was going to start looking for something else. July 5, 2009 -- unemployed in a non-thriving city 400 miles from home. I'm still owed almost $1k in back pay.

I filed for unemployment, had it contested twice by the lying conman of a boss I had, and I won both times. In any case, I snatched up the first crappy job I could find, and postponed my enrollment for one semester as I tried to sort everything out.

That next crappy job I found wasn't satisfactory, but it (barely) allowed me to pay my bills while I looked for something else. I found something marginally better, and figured it'd have to do. Classes began for me January 2010, and financial aid (at that time, in the form of student loans) helped me scrape by. Finding out that my current crappy job would all but evaporate come summer, I decided to take a full-time load of credits so that I'd be able to get another student loan dispersal to pay my rent and bills until the work came back. In hindsight, I probably should have just filed for unemployment for the summer, but until I came to Buffalo, the "unemployment insurance" option was simply something I had never entertained, and did so only when severely hard-pressed by what happened here. So I got by.

Come January 2011, I had come to learn that the only reason I was able to scrape by was because I was using my student loan money to cover some of my bills. When I reapplied for the following school year, I noticed a little increase in my eligibility, because I was making so much less money in Buffalo than I did when I worked in Manhattan. The second school year's student aid was based on five months of Manhattan-income and seven months of Buffalo-income. If I decided to stay for a third year, I'd be submitting only Buffalo-income, and would become eligible for grant money. I gritted my teeth and decided to extend my time here one more year, but would have to find a better job for my final year so as to save money for getting out of here.

May 2011 -- I'm walking past a beautiful restaurant with patio seating and decide to look it up online. The menu and prices indicate a much better level of clientele (and income for a server), so I apply. I receive back a request for an interview that same day. I go down and get hired (I have a lot of experience in restaurants, and not just as a server but also in office/management). The business is more consistent, the shifts are longer and more exhausting, but it's what I need to do, so I do it. Over the summer I trained and got experienced with their style and selections, and started making much better money. I opted to have my credit card tips added to my paycheck, which was direct-deposited into my checking account, rather than taking cash home every night. The previous experience of "barely getting by" was so in-grained that I didn't know what to do with the extra money, so I just started paying rent in advance. By Thanksgiving, I had paid rent through the following March.

Now my last semester is about half-over, and I'm looking ahead to moving to the town where my first-choice graduate school is located. I've achieved a 3.8 GPA, worked 9-12 hours a week in a psychology research lab at my school since January 2011, focused my goals (long- and short-term), worked almost full-time hours most weeks at my job, and have over $8k saved toward moving and relocation expenses. All this less than three years after worrying that I was about to be flat broke and on the street because I was conned into a job offer with false information by someone who later skipped town and is being chased by multiple lawsuits. The only help I received was a $300 loan from a friend (paid back two months later), three weeks of unemployment, and the student loans and grant money I received for attending college -- everything else I earned and saved. I learned that I am stronger than I thought, and that having gotten through this, I can get through other stuff that doesn't seem nearly as challenging or scary. "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." So right now, I'm feeling pretty amazing.

It's interesting how things pale in comparison after you've been through some whopping challenge and got out of it alive.

Amen on that. Very evidently Aquaeyes is a success story in the making. I applaud him.

To quote a country song, i want to be loved like that.

Hate to be a copycat, but much like HHandbasket, I am lucky enough to be married to the most amazing person that I know. (We've made it 48 + years and still like/love one another).

She is a lady at all times in all situations. Yet let me assure you she is no pushover. She is scrupulously honest in all things. Don't ask her a question if you don't want to hear her answer. She was a 'liberated' woman before that concept became accepted. Made do when we had next to nothing, raised two great kids, and yep she is the best kisser that I have ever known.

(Hey those things are very important.)

She worked as a waitress to make enough money (refused to take from the family budget) to run for an elected position. Became a municipal clerk, took courses, gained accreditations, taught courses, became president of our state clerks association, an officer in the international clerks association all the while neglecting nothing at home. She has an uncanny ability to guage the character of others, and I lean on her heavily for my interpersonal actions. Sourland tends to lose objectivity and become over reactive upon occassion.

She has my back in all things, and when it became necessary backed me into a corner and forced me to face and address an addictive situation. I am in awe of her. She is the most loving person that I have ever known and through her I have gained the ability to love. I'm a lucky man.
