Love

Thane and I have known each other for almost 4 years. He sometimes would ask me out but I always said no. I knew in my heart of heart that I was not ready. I needed to get my life straightened out before I could be with him. So for 3 years I lived my life the way I needed to. I focused on my job and my beautiful daughters, Elizabeth, Amber and Ashley. Last year I needed a date for our holiday party. My best friend suggested that I call Thane to be my date. And so of course I called him and he said yes. We started spending more time with each other after that night. We became inseparable. Then on April 18th I get a phone call at work. It was Thane. "Baby, can you tell my boss that I will not be in at work because I just got into an accident?" I went numb!! I made all the phone calls I needed to make and left work. I met the ambulance at the hospital. I waited forever before they would let me see him. Then we found out that he broke his L3 and 3 bones on his R foot. So they flew him to a trauma hospital. He had shattered his L3 like crushed potato chips!!!! Thane went through four surgeries. I was at the hospital practically every day. I didn't get very much sleep during that time. I would go to work, the hospital and then go home. Then repeat it again the next day. I was lucky that I had such great support from all our family and friends. I truly don't know what I would of done without them. They kept me sane. The doctor told us that he was lucky to be alive and not paralyzed. God was definitely watching over him that day. Thane and I are now engaged to be married. He proposed to me at the holiday party this year, January 19th. One year after our first date. It was the most perfect night of my life. He planned everything right down to my outfit. The love that Thane and I have for each other comes only once in a life time. We are very lucky to have each other.
