But before the love of my life came along I felt a lot like you do now and someone told me something that I am now going to pass on to you...I realize I dont know you at all..but I just know, I absolutely know that the universe is preparing someone for you right now, someone absolutely perfect. So you don't even have to worry about it, the only thing you have to do is take care of you, just like you said, the year of Allie and when you're ready he'll appear.
