Dear Casey,
I would love to dedicate a song to a man I absolutely adore. I met Tom on the Internet almost a year ago. At first, we emailed each other frequently. He's single & I, well I was going through a very difficult time. After we began feeling comfortable with each other, we talked on the phone. Tom and I became very close just through conversation. He's my best friend. He and I can tell each other anything. Four weeks ago, I flew to Phoenix to meet him. We had a slight mishap at the airport when he couldn't find me, but we joke about it now. He plans on flying to see me in Delaware in a few weeks. I'm 48. He's 50, and we have made a commitment to spend the rest of our lives together. Sometimes, it takes that long to find true love. I would like to dedicate "Amazed" by Lonestar. Casey, this man I'm in love with is a true gem, and I can't wait to marry him. Thank you.
