This is a page I put together to tell you a little bit about
the special man who holds the key to my heart.
His name is Robert McPherson,
and he is from Hawarden, Iowa.
He's a drafter by trade
and a gentleman by inclination.
 

Robert McPherson :-)
 

Robert and I first met online in early October, 1998.
I felt an immediate attraction,
but held my thoughts inside because
Robert had a girlfriend at the time,
and things looked pretty serious between them.
Very shortly after that first icq conversation
I became involved with someone else.
In early February, 1999,
my whole world was shattered into a million pieces.
Todd, the man I thought I would be
spending the rest of my life with,
changed from a sweet, gentle man full of love
 to a horrible, evil man of hate.
It was at this point that Robert re-entered
 my life in a big way.
His system had crashed and we hadn't been
 in contact for quite awhile. When a message
from him came up on icq we started talking again.
Although I was in deep, emotional as well as physical pain
over my recent loss, the feelings I
 had for Robert back in October
suddenly came to the forefront again.
I asked him how things were with him
and his girlfriend (fully expecting
 to find out they were married).
Needless to say, I was not disappointed to
discover that they had split up.
But, at the same time, I was feeling the
pain he was going through,
and all the feelings of insecurity, and lack
of self worth that naturally follows when you are
betrayed by someone you
 love and trust.

Over the next while I leaned on Robert alot
for strength. It was like I could feel his arms around me,
holding me up when I really wanted to
just drown in my sorrow and fade away.
But there was something about
him that kept telling me more and more that
losing Todd was the best thing
that ever could have happened to me.
If not for that painful episode in my life,
 I never would have come to know Robert
in the way I know him now.
He is a wonderful, loving, caring and sensitive man.
 

In June 1999, Robert drove up to where I was
living in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.
That was the first time we met face to face.
My heart skipped a beat and my knees felt like Jell-O.
There was no doubt in my mind that this was the man for
me. I looked into his gorgeous blue eyes and saw all the love
that was there for me.
My daughter and I went back to Iowa with Robert.

Robert and I got married on October 5, 1999 in Orange City, Iowa.
That was the most beautiful day of my life. Running a very
close second is the day the doctor told us we are going to have
a baby in the Spring. The due date was May 8, 2000.

In March, 2000 we moved up to Canada, and settled in the cozy
city of Elliot Lake, Ontario. It was there that our son was born on April 27.
This was the crowning glory to our already perfect romance.

True love can definitely be found in the most amazing places.
