Those who have gone through a divorce will tell you just how difficult it can be to get back in the game. After giving your all to a failed relationship, many people simply don't know how to give love a second chance. After settling a messy divorce, single mother of two Kristina Kuzmic was hesitant to start dating again.
So when she met a nice man named Philip, she did her best to bury her feelings for him...
The two shared an amazing bond and both really, really liked each other. But Kristina found herself having trouble fully opening up to him. Philip continuously tried to take their relationship to the next level, but Kristina always pushed herself away in fear of getting hurt again.
However, after much hesitation, Kristina finally introduced Philip to her kids...
But she didn't introduce him as her boyfriend. Actually, she ensured that she and Phil showed no signs of affection in front of the kids so that it appeared as if they were just friends. But a few weeks later that she was forced to take one BIG step.
It all happened when both Kristina and her three-year-old got extremely sick with the flu. Both were vomiting all throughout the night, and Kristina was having trouble taking care of herself AND her daughter. There was vomit on the carpet, and both her children were crying.
Finally at two in the morning, she made a decision... she called Philip.
She explained to Philip that if he really wanted to be with her, he'd have to be there for her family as well. She explained the situation and left the next step up to him. Knowing that her entire situation at that very moment was nothing short of a disaster, she didn't expect him to show up, or even to hear from him again.
But then she heard a knock at the door...
Philip showed up, but he wasn't angry or annoyed as Kristina thought he would be. Instead, he sent Kristina and the kids to bed and began cleaning up the kids' vomit off the floor. He then kissed Kristina on the head and told her "I want this. I want every part of it. All three of you."
It has now been seven years since that night...
...and Philip is still there for Kristina and her children. In fact, Kristina and Philip are now married and have added another child to their family. The two are extremely happy, and thanks to Philip, Kristina has rediscovered just how amazing love can be. She recently shared her story online so that the everyone can understand just how important it is to let love into your life, regardless of anything.
Because in a world such as ours, love is everything.
