Just to think... we grew up less than ten miles of each other. Shopped in many of the same stores. Ate in many of the same places. Probably went to some if the same events. But as teenagers, I wouldn't have given her a second look. For went I was 16, she was only 12 ... 18 verses 14. Our paths were never to cross until later in life.
And what a wonderful life that has been. So many memories. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect life with the one that completes me in every way.
Thank you for giving me the best years of my life. Sometimes, day to day life seems a bit routine but the joy, happiness, and memories still keep coming. We have made each other better well rounded soul mates, and look forward to making the rest of our lives just as happy. While 5th grade, the teacher asked everyone what they wanted to be when grown up. There were all the typical answers... mine was to simply be happy. Life has taken various paths, with life altering directions... but I've always been happy. Being with Shelly makes that happy life a reality.
