A message from Cindy…

 Dear You,

 I read your comment and wondered what to say to you to help you feel better. First, I’m not perfect, so thank God Keith wasn’t looking for perfection, Second, you are right I am no different than you in many ways for example: I wanted to find someone to love and who would love me, someone I could spend the rest of my life with hand in hand and enjoy whatever time we have left on this  earth. Third, thank you for the compliment about my looks, but thank God again Keith saw beyond my looks and saw who I really am and what kind of person I strive to be. And last but not least, My green eyes were inherited from my grandmother which I loved very much, and I am proud to have them, (out of 5 children I am the only one with her green eyes) and yes behind them are tales of pain, heartache, love, and hope for a better future, and I am sure that is no different than you, no matter what color your eyes are. One of my strengths is always looking for the good in others, I always try to look beyond their flaws and mistakes, because we all have them and made them. But in you I see someone who obviously cares for Keith very much, so I know you only want him to be happy, and why you didn’t choose to let him know will always be a mystery to me. I can’t change that but I promise you that I will love him and only him for as long as we both find it in our hearts to feel the same way about each another, and I will pray that you will find someone that will be as good for you as he has been for me and I for him. We wish everyone could be as happy as we are but to have that you have to be happy with yourself. Don’t let bitterness and anger cheat you out of a life you so deserve and obviously want. Love is one of the greatest gifts of all and I should know, because I am experiencing it as we speak.

 Sincerely, Cindy
