Today is my parent’s 26th anniversary. I was eight years old when the two of them got married. Together the two of them influence so many lives; they're role models, always setting the stage for what a healthy marriage should be like. I only hope and pray that someday I can find a special woman, someone I can call my soul mate, someone with a big heart, a positive attitude, ethical, with a strong moral compass and most importantly someone that can be a role model for my children, perhaps one day having more children of our own. I have no idea what the future holds in store for me, but I do know that if I continue to live my life each day at a higher standard, strengthening my sobriety as time goes on, practicing what I believe to be a more righteous way to live, then and only then will I attract a healthy soul mate. Until that time I'm in no hurry, I still have a long way to go in my recovery to a life of personal success. I have no doubt that when my time has come to have and nurture a healthy relationship with another human being, God will place her in my life. In the mean time I'll just keep taking lessons from other great couples such as my mom and dad. Happy Anniversary and to another 26+ years of love and happiness!
