Every BODY Has a Story: An Answered Prayer
"I’m forty-six years old. I have three kids that live with me who are twelve, fourteen and seventeen. I live outside of the city and because of some troubles, I can’t drive. I’ve been separated from my ex-wife for the last year or so, and I got so lonely living out here, I didn’t think I could stand it. Don’t get me wrong- I love my children, and if that was all I got out of life I wouldn’t complain at the end. But man, I really wanted another adult in my life.
I tried a lot of different ways of connecting with people, but nothing seemed to work. After a long, hard day of loneliness, I decided to pray. I got down on my knees and asked Him to please send me a good woman. I swear to God, I asked on my knees! A woman who would bring me closer to God, a woman who would love me the way I am. A woman who would accept my children and love them too.
Two days later, I kid you not, I met Amy. She was everything I asked for and more. We met in mid-January of this year, and we were engaged on Valentines Day when I got this tattoo.
Amy is a holy woman, a good woman. She told me that both of our names mean the same thing: beloved. My name is David, which means beloved in Hebrew. Hers is Amy, which means beloved in Latin.
I know I’m blessed to be able to love her, and to finally live up to my name.
