My heart

If I could paint you a picture of my heart you would notice two things. One, how big the piece labeled "Jesus" is, and the next large piece labeled "Pups". This isn't going to come as a surprise to anyone who knows me. My dogs are my babies (they don't even know they are dogs) and all 3 of us love Jesus...especially Pnut he LOVES him some Jesus. haha
Seriously, there would be huge sections labeled "family" and "music" but Jesus and the pups...they are up there. So, you can understand my frustration and disappointment when I learned that Randy is very allergic to dogs (he literally can't breathe) and is not a big fan of Jesus. We tried to work on both...vacuuming more, and talking about my faith...but in the end, it didn't work out. These nonnegotiable factors, I couldn't change, they make up such a huge part of my heart and who I am.
I tried, he tried, and in the end we just don't fit. We have a lot of fun, we have amazing chemistry, but I am looking for something more specific. Something long lasting and forever. You enter into a relationship hoping that the outcome is a happy one, but also being aware that it just might not be. We're just not meant to be and someday, God willing, my happy ending will come and I'll know why I had to learn this...even if it was the hard way.

Sorry to hear that Amy. But, it looks like you did everything you could. You have a great outlook on life and I am proud of you for standing up for what you believe. That is very hard to do sometimes!

That is very strong on your part Amy to be able to stick
to your ideals and feelings. It would have been much
easier to just give in and settle for something that, maybe someday You would have thought would work out.
I appauld you.
