We were introduced on Match.com. When we decided to meet, I didn’t want to tell her my last name but surprise her that mine was the same as her maiden name. However, being advised by her sons that this guy was probably a con man of sorts, she forced me to tell her. We met at the Windmill restaurant. As I was on the porch waiting for her I got a text message that said “I am watching you!”. Shortly thereafter she emerged from her car all smiles. We had a pleasant conversation and had to leave because the restaurant was closing. To my utter surprise and delight, she wanted to prolong our conversation by sitting on a bench outside. When it was time to leave I walked her to her car where she told me that she’ll date a guy 3 times and will know by then whether to give him the boot. I was overjoyed when she agreed to a 4th date. And so began a wonderful relationship and journey that lasted over 11 years and ended prematurely by her death. I truly believe God brought us together being that we were so compatible and enjoyed each other’s presence. Why God took her and left me behind I cannot answer, but I thank him for bringing such a precious jewel into my life. Gosh! I’m going to miss her.
