I had been separated for about 5 years.I dated a bit but never found anyone who I felt I would want to spent my life with.I was living all alone in a big city like New York,my parents kept calling me,telling me about guys (*good guys*) whom they thought I would be happy with.
But I had made up my mind this time,take things slow,no rushing!I was working with 'The New York Daily News',then when I came over a guy via internet named Todd Lorrens.
First it was just 'Hellos' and 'Heyys',then we began to chat often,and then it was daily.He was working with the US Army.He was the type of guy which every girl would want,yet I wasn't sure of him.I was of course,attracted to him,but I had to make sure it wasn't just because I liked the way he spoke or looked.
Chatting with a guy is easy but spending whole life is completely different.We emailed and messaged for about a month...then he had to leave for work and move across country.At first,I was cool about it,but then I figured I wouldn't hear from him again,I hadn't felt so insecured in these years about any guy.Its then that I realized that I had fallen in love with him.
I emailed him,but he din't reply.I knew he was long lost,that I would never hear from him again.I missed him a lot and waited for his reply,but there was none!And I realized I would have to move on now.That he isn't going to come back for me.
I visited my parents as I was feeling very lonely for a while.I spoke to them about Todd,and my mother was grieving that I hadn't let him know how I felt,she hoped may be he wouldn't have gone then.She had some truth in it,though.I was in doubt now,about his feelings,maybe if I would have let him know,he would also tell me how he felt about me.But somewhere I hoped,he too loved me the same way,but again he hadn't replied to my emails which shows he din't care much.

It was one summer afternoon,3 months,precisely after I last emailed him,that I received a mail from him.It was clearly written in bold letters
"Hii! Baby!Did you miss me?Cuz' I did,a lot lotSorry couldn't reply to your emails.
I'm back home,so letz meet up,what say....

I was reading each words with my heart pounding harder and harder,I never felt sad and so happy at the same time,tears rolling down my eyes when I finally read the last three words
"Hii! Baby!Did you miss me?Cuz' I did,a lot lotSorry couldn't reply to your emails.
I'm back home,so letz meet up,what say....
"Love You Sweetheart!"I was literally jumping,the kid in me,forced me to run up to mum and throwing my arms around her hugging her tightly and cry with joy.That was the best day ever since.
I replied to his mail,that night and we planned to meet.I told him I was in Paris and that I would take time to get back to New York.He simply said it wasn't required because he had once promised 'wherever you will be,I'll pick you up'.
He was coming,I had no bounds to my happiness.My parents were excited too,eagerly waiting for him.
He finally,arrived,and he had insisted that nobody come at the airport to receive him,he had the address,so he would come by himself.
There he was laughing and chatting with my parents,he seemed to be a part of the family,already.My mother was happy for me,and I could make that out,that she too liked him,after all she had made cinnamon rolls for him,which she only prepares for either her family or someone special.He was really that 'someone special' for me as well as for her.
We dated for 13 months before finally getting married.
After a year I had my first baby boy;he is 3 years old now and I bet he would steal your heart.
I am so happy that "cyber dating" existed because I wouldn't have Todd or my son if it didn't.I do tell people that you must be careful and play smart,because you never know,your prince charming may only be an instant message away!
