I was looking at some things via The Wayback Machine, and I decided to look at a blog I used to have. I closed the other blog down due to harassments I was getting from someone, and it was advised by the police that I delete it. Anyway, the last entry I put in it, was, I think, one of the deepest I have ever written. This was a couple of months after my wife at the time traded me in for a younger model.
Everything happens for a reason. Some things may seem like the reason for something else happening, where in fact these are just another stepping stone to take you to where you need to be. But where you need to be sometimes takes you by surprise. What may bring you happiness may not even be where it is that you will end up. But sometimes you have to go through moments of intense pain to get to that place of absolute bliss.
Just because you get married, does not mean that that is the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with. It may be that you are destined to spend the rest of your life alone, but if that is where you are destined to be, then who are we to complain or judge it.
Some people will look at you and say that they have fallen for you, where in fact they are just looking to grasp hold of something that they need in order to boost their own life. Most of the time they don’t even realise that they are doing it, and aren’t even aware of it until way after who they have fallen for has moved on or moved out.
It is sometimes difficult to tell the difference between when you have truly fallen in love with someone and when you just what to grasp onto them. We are all guilty of it at some point in our life. But for some people when you grasp hold of someone you end up falling in love with them anyway. But how do you know the difference? I for one can’t tell you. How many people have given up on their whole life for something only to find that it is wrong – at that point. Of course they have to go through that point to get to that point of absolute bliss.
Just remember – when you are feeling down – someone else is thinking of you. Someone will be thinking about how much you mean to them. And will be thinking that you changed their life for the better.
I like that post, and I feel it can give hope to a lot of people.
A Mixed Bag 
Thank you, Dear Friend from across the sea……I will hold on to that and maybe even dare to let myself believe that someone could be wanting to know me better 😉 ……I guess miracles could happen, right?
Yes they can. If miracles can happen for me, they can happen for you.
I am glad you found your miracle. She must be marvelous.
Haha that wasn’t what I meant. I prayed for a miracle before Christmas and I got it. My mum had gone to the doctor’s and been sent to specialists and had tests. They told her she had cancer. I prayed for a miracle and in January she was told it wasn’t cancer, they had been wrong
Oh!!!!! That is wonderful!! I am so very happy for you. She is such a cutie. Your dad, too, of course! lol
What a hard holiday season that must have been, but what a post-Christmas celebration!! I am so happy for you, Alastair.
I hope they live near you. In a very non-stalker-esque way, I was looking up where it is you live this morning……it looks lovely. It is good if you all live fairly close.
They are only 15 miles away so we see each other fairly regularly. My sister lives just over a mile away so we see each other regularly.
Christmas was one of the hardest, thinking it may have been her last.

Have much to say about this, but would not in this comment box. lol
All I will say is that it is one of the most perfect things I have read in a long time. Perfect because I needed to hear those exact words. Still not sure about that last paragraph. My personality refuses to let me believe that, but I can try and hope. Thanks for sharing this, Alastair. Big hugs.
There WILL be someone thinking of you. You have changed someone’s life. Maybe more than one person. Just because you don’t think they are, doesn’t mean it isn’t so.
Think of the people that you have interacted with and spoken to or smiled at. Each of those has been changed because of you. Some of those may still be thinking of you. You never know, at least one of them may be wanting to get to know you better 😉
