TurquoiseI found my soul mate
On an Easter Sunday, I had been invited to an acquaintance’s place for dinner. I wasn’t real fond of the couple and chose not to go. Something struck a chord in me and I changed my mind and attended the dinner.
When I arrived, they expressed relief to see me as they had covertly arranged a “blind date” meeting with a guy they worked with. I am not fond of surprises like that and pissed and grumped around but finally agreed to meet the fellow.
Oh my God!! When he walked into the room and our eyes met, the world stood still. We started towards each other, before we could even be introduced, with each of us reaching our hands towards the other. As we grasped hands and our eyes met, we both knew, in an instant………THIS WAS IT!! We immediately walked out to our cars and drove to a nearby truck stop that had a café that was open 24/7. We sat in a booth and we talked for nearly 40 hours. (We ordered meals and would walk around outside and come back in talk some more.) We poured out our hearts and souls to each other; sharing our life’s goals, our beliefs, desires, our wants, needs, likes, dislikes and what had brought each of us to that moment in time. 72 hours later we were married and lived a richly fulfilling life together for 36 years until my precious darling made his Journey Home to the Spirit World after a 3 year battle with stomach cancer.
