This past weekend, each time I woke up, my first thought was of you. What is she doing and is she ok? The unknown can comfort and hurt at the same time. Overheard a conversation outside my front window. One woman said to another, she is thinking of visiting him. My Vanity caused me to think she was talking about you and me. Happily, I didn’t walk around all weekend wondering why you didn’t visit. Reply

2. chrisphoenix  |   Posted on Mar 26th, 2012 My life has been a hard road to follow. My dad did his best to teach how to work, grab a shovel and start digging. But when you’re a kid, digging with a shovel is not your idea of fun. But work was done. When I could have fun, I preferred to have it by myself. My old neighborhood taught me to stay out of their games. Baseball, football, didn’t matter the game, a fight was inevitable, which lead to bloodshed. In fourth grade, I told my parents, I want to move out of my elementary school and go to a new school to get away from the neighborhood kids. The next year, my parents moved me to a new school and new kids. The school welcomed me and the kids did to, but I never quite felt truly accepted. Reply

3. chrisphoenix  |   Posted on Mar 26th, 2012 Joined the navy after graduating high school, mother introduced me to a lady and eventually got married. Then I got hit by a car in Virginia and was medically discharged from military service. Like, Lamar’s father has probably told you, acclimating back into civilian life is not easy. Eventually started working but could hold a job called an 89/90 day job. As I found out, full time work would allow you to work 89 days and be fired. Because on the 90th day, insurance benefits would start and the company would pay the extra. Marriage was a deception. Ex-wife needed someone with good credit to help rebuild hers. Safe to say, separated after 7, divorced after 9. Went to college at 35 to Bloomsburg University, January 2000. Graduated in August 2005 and moved to Arizona were to this day, I do not regret the move. Second chance for a good life and left the old life behind. Reply

But maybe they were simply guides to training me what to look for and learn to trust again. Then one day, I was searching the internet for something and came across a celebrity blog site for you. I opened the site, joined and here we are today. I am still looking for where I belong but I can say to you, your website have given me something I have long thought to be lost forever, Hope for Love and made my life more enjoyable. Reply

5. chrisphoenix  |   Posted on Mar 26th, 2012 Now, if I could only find the right words to say that would bring you to me. I would like to date you. But how? I don’t want to win a date through a contest; there is no love there, just a hello and a goodbye. Granted, a date is a date, but I want a little more feeling to go into the date then being a contest winner. So, I didn’t enter any of the contests. I saw you had gift set up for grabs to 3 lucky winners. My only thing is, you are who I would have given the gift set to, so I again didn’t enter. The gift set should go to someone who would really appreciate the gift. Reply

6. chrisphoenix  |   Posted on Mar 26th, 2012 Anyway, my weekend was quiet and safe. Going to Prescott this next weekend to spend time with my mom. Saw the picture of you kissing Mason wearing the colorful hat. It looked nice on you. Your son will be a pretty as Mason, I know it because I can feel it. You take care and always remember that I love you and only want the best for you. Trust, Honesty, and Love, Christopher A. Gass P.S. Listening to Elton John’s Pinball Wizard song right now while writing to you. Have a good day and I will be thinking of you. XOXOXO Reply
