We started talking to each other back in 1995 on the internet. Back in the very beginning of the internet when we had dial up connections. Very primitive. I was going through a divorce at the time and he became my best friend. We would talk for hours about everything. It took a year for me to get the courage to meet him. In August of 1996 he took the chance and came to Phoenix and have been together ever since, except for a few business trips and hospital stays and even then even though we couldn't be together we would talk on the phone.
