I'm not sure you know this but, I am eleven years older than my husband. To think that when I was in the fifth grade he was a newborn is CRAZY!! When he was ten, I was turning 21 and going to bars. WOW!! This could never work, right? Someone THAT much younger than me would be so immature and not on the same page in life as me. Right? Maybe, if I threw any preconceived labels and biased out the door.

When I first saw his profile, on match.com, I was attracted to his pictures and even more attracted to what he wrote about himself and what he was looking for in a partner. I had never dated anybody more than a year or so younger than me and he was looking for someone younger than himself. Trust me, I started to move on from his page but, I couldn't. Something drew me to him. So, I winked at him. I never thought he would contact me back. But, he did. Not without pondering the fact that I was ELEVEN years older than him. He really struggled with that before sending me an email. He thought I was WAY too old for him. I even had three kids, one of which was older than his little sister. NO WAY would this ever lead to anything meaningful. Right? NO WAY!

Well, we threw S$#T to the wind and got to know each other. What we found out was that we WERE alike. We wanted the same things. We shared similar interests. Basically, we found love where neither of us thought it would be. We quickly got past the age difference and realized, or ages made NO difference.

After me being married and divorced and him always dating younger women because we both thought THAT is how our lives were play out and supposed to be, we let go of our bias and labels and found the love of our lives.

Love has NO labels!! You love who you love without needing an explanation or reason. Love is love no matter the age, race, religion, disability, class, location or sex. I learned that lesson by meeting my husband. If you are still unsure, watch this!!
