Hello All,
I just recently got into a situation, well I did not get into it. Truth is that my GirlFriend, Ex, whom I called an incredible girl and a Blessing to me...wow.
Well, she dropped a Bombshell on me and it goes right into this category of 'Age Gap'. And I am not trying to do this for effect. We were together for 30 months. She is from the UK and I am from Florida in the US. The (distance) challenge was never really an issue....because I went over there to the UK 4 times to be with her and Family and she Flew over to Florida 2 times. I Loved her with every spot of my heart. Also, I have CP, Cerebral Palsy and my Life started out soon after birth with 2 doctors telling my mom (adoptive) that I would NEVER walk.
There's so much more to the story, but I will stay with the -age gap- post here.
SHE ended things in early January,, she is now 23 and I am 38. At first, there was the wonder of "" well, 15 years". Ya know??
But she was every much SPECIAL and the Blessing to me.
They call some people with what I have " Special Needs" or "Disabilities" or "Handicaps". I THINK it is our cry, people with these challenges that we long to just be considered people, and many with HUGE HEARTS.
If you put the time and effort into getting to know us,, you will find out how much we are wonderful Human Beings...and just want to be treated with dignity.
ON ending the relationship,, SHE let me know (and NOT even over the phone) that she has "FEELINGS FOR" an interest for this Church Leader (Pastor??) almost hard to call him that. It is like a -- see right to it or through it situation--.. I mean NOTHING wrong with ' having feelings' for a Church Leader EXCEPT,,
here's the age gap,, HE is almost 60, yes that is a 6 with a zero behind it.
He is right at (59) currently.
So, 23, her age and 59-- his age.
Adding to,, he is STILL married and he has been for 30 or 31 years.
He has 3 Kids (grown) and when I talked with Katy's Nan (grand-mother), the Pastor (or so he is called) and his wife have or had a 2nd grand-baby on the way.
I mean talk about an age gap, this is the kind of stuff you hear about, usually on the Television News....and ever think will happen to you..
Prayers truly appreciated...
