A Love Story........

It’s a natural fact that people like love stories.

Think about it for a moment, “love,” as we know it, sells everything from movies to books to TV.

It’s an emotion that keeps one buying into it, or tuning each week.

I want to tell you about a love story that I have been blessed enough to witness first-hand. You want to hear about how love changes someone for the better? Maybe one about utter devotion? This story has got both of those ingredients and a lot more.

Let me tell you the story of Thomas (We’ll just call him Tommy) and Chloe.

I have known Tommy for a couple years. At first, he was very shy. To be honest, he really wouldn’t have much to do with you. I don’t know why he had such a quiet demeanor, but it was a personality trait that he definitely owned. It seemed like if you were to get him around someone or something new, he would fold into somewhat of an emotional shell.

Then came Chloe.

Once she came into his life, a change in Tommy started to happen. While I don’t guess you could say it was overnight, he definitely started to open up…and now, well, I guess you could say the change in him is self-evident.

There’s a twinkle in his eyes whenever he gets around her, and if you want to see the definition of protective---watch his actions. He stays by her side constantly---making sure all is well with her, because as you know, you can never be too careful these days….and it’s a two-way street. You can tell the respect and adoration that she has for him due to the way he treats her.

A lot of people turn their noses on an older man / younger woman relationship, but I think that in this case….it turned out more than alright. Did I mention that he is twice her age? No matter, there’s a bond that shows every time the two are together, but there is a catch. Tommy is all of two, and Chloe isn’t quite one yet. Still, one cannot measure the impact of a small Siamese kitten on a young cat that didn’t trust people too well, for whatever reason…and that impact has been huge!
