~*~ And as she walked away and I looked at my wife/ And then and there I thanked the good Lord/ For the gifts in my life/ Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers/ Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs/ That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care/ Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers/ Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered/ Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers ~*~
�Really, like who?�
�Like you. Now come on, I need to show you off to all the people in there.� She laughed and we walked back into the gym. I pulled her out on the floor and gazed in her eyes. She fixed me, her gaze burning right into my soul. Her smile melting my heart. �I haven�t told you this, but I love you more than anything Theresa.�
�And I love you more than anything too Howard.� I kissed her lips, soft and gentle. She pulled away and laid her head on my chest. On that dance floor, I was rather lucky. I could have had another woman. But looking back now, she wasn�t the same person. She grew up, we both did. And we changed. She wouldn�t make me happy now. Maybe she never could have. But I knew there was one woman who did. I kissed her forehead and heard her sigh. I closed my eyes, thanking God he never left unanswered prayers.
