Ackwell,

It sounds like you have found a special woman. I know you were concerned at first about her already having a son, but decided to take a chance and see where things led. Sometimes we just need to take life as it comes and take a chance. I myself had not planned on getting married until I was in my 30's (prompted by my own parents getting married, and divorced, too young). However, I met someone who I loved and was my friend and we go married the day before I graduated from college! We have been together over 20 years now. We have had some problems, including over the past year, but things will work out if you are willing to put some work into it. The best things in life are free, in that you can't buy them with money, but you still have to work to get them.
