..."I love you!" As a continuation of my first blog I am adding this.

He opened up completely to me lastnight and I now understand his fear or at least hope I have a better understanding anyway. It seems that men, some maybe even all, really are emotional deep within and have a soft side that the exterior hides. And it seems if a man is severely hurt by a woman they have given their heart to it leaves a major scar. So I find myself with a wounded man.

A wounded man who felt fear lastnight, fear that I was headed out the door so he opened up and showed me his vulnerable side. Us women, we melt over a hurting man and just want to fix him. He said those 3 words after a very lengthy conversation about us and where we were headed as a couple.

I will still take this a day at a time but can tell you that I AM that STRONG woman that will stand STRONG behind MY firefighter man.
