Anything is possible
My story begins about ten years ago when I met Cecilia (my wife). She was 21 and I was 24. Because we had both just come out of failed marriages, her family and mine opposed of our relationship. No matter how difficult it was she never gave up on us. She stood up for us and went against all odds. Years later we had a son. Cecilia wanted my parents to meet our son. At the time my father was sick with cancer. He never got to meet Jonas. My mother lived all her life with Scleroderma. After my father’s passing, my mother became very ill. Cecilia wanted to meet my mother regardless of how my mother felt about her. The day my mother met Cecilia and Jonas, it changed her whole perception. My mother loved them both. She died shortly after. The title of my story is Anything is Possible because our lives have changed so much. When we first moved in together we had nothing. We didn’t even have a vehicle. Once in a while I would use my work van to take us out!
We had a tiny apartment with no furniture and just a bunch of sheets to sleep on the floor. We didn’t have much but we were happy, we were in love. Little by little, together we have worked so hard and 4 years ago we bought a house. Cecilia and I got married in 2008 ( I have yet to buy her a wedding ring). We went to the justice of the peace and there in the judge’s office we got married. Jonas, our son, was our witness. Together we have 5 kids in the house (2 from her previous marriage, 2 from mine and together 1). Cecilia works full time, goes to school, takes care of our home, kids and myself. She wakes up at 4am to make me breakfast and lunch so I can take it to work. She comes home from work and makes dinner and still makes time for the kids and myself. She will be finishing her MBA in April of 2010. She works so hard to make us all happy and never thinks of herself. She never gave up on our relationship, she never gave up on meeting my mother and she never gives up now. I have always told everybody, she is the rock that holds our home together. Our life is simple but yet we both know how much it has cost us to be where we’re at and we cherish every bit of it. Her love for us is so immense that she sacrifices every bit of energy she’s got to make sure we are all happy. I wish my parents were here to see how far we have come. But I know they are in heaven watching over me. My father always taught me that family comes first. No matter how hard things may get, I know I have a strong woman by my side and that my parents would be so proud of us. Every day I thank the lord for putting Cecilia in my path. Ten years have flown by, yet we love each other more than ever. We have conquered every obstacle, every bump on the road and we’re still strong. This isn’t a fairy tale, this is real life. I’m so lucky to have my wife in my life. The love we have for each other is so strong and we have proved to everybody that together anything is possible!
i can relate
I can’t think of a more deserving woman!
I love this story it’s so beautiful!!! It’s a winner to me!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a beautiful story and may God bless you and your family.
WELL SAID!!!!!
LOVE, FAMILY, SACRIFICE, AND DETERMINATION=HAPPINESS, THIS COUPLE IS A WINNER ALREADY.
People who don’t this couple don’t know the true. Cecilia destroyed his first marriage. they carried the affair for several years while both were still married. at times Randy would break it off because supposely still loved his wife & Cecilia was nothing to him but Cecilia would not stop. Her husband finally left her while Randy still stayed married to his wife. Cecilia never gave up on him, correct because she was determine to break his marriage by holding on to his throat. Cecilia would not take no for an answer but at the same time Randy continued his affair with her. Cecilia finally saw one way of getting Randy was by getting pregnant. Randy was not man enough to accept what he had done & tell his wife about it. she found out when his lover Cecilia called her to tell her she was pregnant. he denied it was his child. there is plenty more to say but it is not nice. as for living & sleeping on the floor he is flat lieing because her apartment was fully furnished. this man does not know what is like to sleep on the floor or have nothing because he is use to having it all including women. she is not the first he has had affairs with and he continues his lifestyle and don’t feel one bit sorry for Cecilia because she knew what she was getting into. it is sad that he is using the death of his parents to garner sympathy. Randy & Cecilia ended up together after his wife finally got the courage to get rid of him & let her have the spoils of their sorted affair. shamed on both.
*wiping tears* This by far is the winner! All were very nice stories but this simply hit home for me.

Does anyone validate these stories? I know for a fact that this couple were both married to other people when they began their affairand had their child together while they were married to other people. Not a very romantic, nor deserving couple when you’re aware of the actual facts.
