Somewhere Out There

Our anniversary song is "Somewhere Out There." I remember hearing that song when it first came out from the movie, "The American Tail!" "Somewhere Out There" was composed by Horner and written by Barry Mann. I was flooded with so much emotion the first time I heard that song; hoping and praying that there was someone "out there" who would come into my life and sweep me off my feet. Someone who could truly love me just for the person I am. I have never had that before. In fact, every man that I have known has used me or tried to change me. I never knew anyone who could see or appreciate the real me. I have been lonely all my life, and, devoted myself to the Lord never thinking I would find that special kind of love. I was happy with Jesus, but, all the while living in denial thinking that romantic love was not for me.

Well, I have finally found that someone in my husband Bob. Many people don't know the beauty that dwells within my husband, but, when he loves, he loves deeply and passionately. Bob is kind, generous, very helpful and gentlemanly. He brought chivalry back to my world which is so romantic, and, which I thought was gone forever. I met bob on my son's wedding day, and, he asked if he could see my farm. I did not see myself as attractive, because, I only looked at my physical flaws. I thought he was only interested in storing his Tony Stewart dye cast cars in my barn. I never thought that he would be interested in me as any more than just a friend. Since we were now "in laws" I figured; "What would be the harm in having him come out?"

Later, I was completely taken by surprise when he showed an interest in me as a person, and, as a woman.

So to conclude, the reason why the song "Somewhere Out There" means so much to me is because my Bob was truly my "Someone out there" who was waiting to meet his "Someone out there" too. The love we share is so unique and something I never had before. Who would have thought that at my age I would finally find true love. Our God is a God of surprises and Bob was my biggest surprise gift of them all. Bob is proof that God has blessings waiting for us that we are afraid to ask for ourselves! However, He knows the innermost desires of our heart, and, is ready to bless us no matter whether we think we deserve it or not.
