once upon a time

There lived a young girl with a dream. To find her prince charming, have a fairy tale wedding, then ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after...

Scratch that. The young girl thought she'd found her prince and married him in a vegas wedding chapel, whereafter they ran off to europe to start their happily ever after. After a year, they found out that they would welcome a prince into the house.

Fast forward, the girl and her prince move home to welcome their child amidst family and friends. But the fairy tale was quickly ending.

The prince started going out and spending all his money at the clubs and casinos. The girl was left home alone night after night to care for the princling. They started fighting more and more and the girl became more and more depressed.

One night as they were driving home he let it slip... He'd been having illicit relations online. The girls heart was shattered. She didn't know what to do anymore.

Try as her prince could to promise her it would never happen again, the girl didn't believe him. He had hurt her one too many times in the past.

Now she is moving out on her own. Her prince was no more than a toad in disguise. But in all of that, she found her real prince charming... In the beautiful blue-eyed prince she birthed 18 months before. Here was the prince who would love her and cherish her.

And she would love him all her life until he found a young princess of his own to love and cherish.

And that, my friends, is the story of how, I found my prince, lost him then found my real love in my son. The true prince in my life: Thomas Michael.

The End
