Dear Eve, I just wanted to thank you for “Love is Blind”. I recently pulled out the First Lady of Ruff Riders CD and listened to it for the first time in 8 years. I have not listened to it in so long that I forget why, that song brought me back to my relationship previous to my husband. Had I stayed with that man I would be dead right now. After months of breaking up getting back together, your song helped me stay out. I thank you for helping me through this very difficult time in my life and helping me see that there are good men out there that know how to test a woman like the goddess she deserves to me. August 2000, I was listening to that song in my car with the man that would soon become my husband and my best girl friend. For some reason, that day, my whole relationship with my ex the break ups, the beatings, the fear and terror came to head that day. I collapsed. I feared for my life and I did not know what to do. Because we had just broken up again, he was stalking me and making threats on my family. I did not know how to get out and stay out. I thought it was only going to end if he killed me. Hearing “Love is Blind” that day made me realize that he WAS going to kill me if I stayed. It happens hundreds of women every day. There was a point in my life where I thought that I was not good enough for a man would not beat me, I thought it was my fault and I would always come back to him. I was embarrassed when people would see through the make up to the bruises. I covered up and made excuses for him. I continued the cycle, because I didn’t know how to get out. Your song gave me the strength I need to finally get out of that relationship and get away. And I want to let you know, that I did find a wonderful man. We have been together for 7 years. He loves and cherishes me and makes me feel like I am the most important woman in the world. He would NEVER think of laying a finger on me or any other women for that matter. He values the fact that I am a strong women and celebrates it. Thank you Eve, for helping open my eyes. Thank you for this song, because it saved my life. Sincerely, Vanessa
