My life has changed dramatically in the past year.
In January, 2012, I lost my husband of 35 years and it was very hard. Even though my marriage was not wonderful, I was lonely. I dated a couple of guys, one in particular, who was a total heel. But then in September, just when I was about to give up looking for a companion, I found a man who has become the best friend I've ever had. We got engaged in December, and now we are sharing a home and planning our future. He is also a Virgo, born on September 21, 1954. I was born September 12, 1950.
Some things in my life are the same, but my new love has made everything better. The only fly in the ointment is Mike's health. He has adenocarcinoma of the lung, stage iv, but he has beaten the odds and stayed alive for nearly two years. Now he is in a clinical trial that is making him better (double blind study testing two similar drugs) and has found relief from pain through acupuncture.
Another thing that is different is, we have between us, three dogs and three cats. And they are all doing fine. A pit bull (mine), a German shepherd and a bichon frise (his) and my three cats. He is also a musician, like me, and we share much other fun things.
So, I just wanted to say, you never know what might happen.

There are no coincidences. You surely are where you are supposed to be, and the glow shines through in your post. 
And even if you only have a short time together, you sound truly wonderful together. Make many memories together and don't put off to tomorrow what you can do three times today. 
Yes, the times they are achangin'! 
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing that, PinkTiger.
Wishing you, Mike and your furbabies much love, joy, and good health!
