Not my romantic love of my life. I still love my paternal grandmother who passed away when I was a child. She had the biggest impact of my life and our love for each other is unmatched. She was the most amazing person I will ever know.
It was at a friend's party, I almost didn't go. I'd been studying at the State Library in Sydney, gathering information for a thesis I was writing. I was mentally drained, but decided I'd show up, then make an excuse as soon as could be managed politely and bow out.
So ... the party was no more inspiring than I'd anticipated, but I spotted a VERY superior rack on a young lady I didn't know. I was checking her out as surreptitiously as I could, my eyes drifted up to her face, met hers - I fell into them and drowned.
This girl had (and still has) the most amazing eyes in the known universe. She also looked upset about something, so I walked over and pitched was has to be the lamest line in history: "What's the matter, beautiful?"
It was as if I'd thown a bucket of water over her - she actually shook herself. "Who, me?"
She wasn't upset, just as bored as I was and daydreaming. We got chatting, I got her number (she didn't 'ghost' me), called her the next day, asked her out - and the rest is history. Proposed a few months later, she answered by taking my virginity. We married the year after.
29 years and four kids (including stillborn twins) later, and two grandchildren so far, we're still together.

Yes purple face, we found eachother. If I say any more than that, something bad might happen, so I'll keep it to myself.

I have but he is not currently in a position to truly commit to anyone. So now we are best friends. It's sometimes painful for me, but I would rather have him in my life than not.
Of course. It's not the easiest thing to do and emotions will do what they do. Ultimately I have to find the friendship worth the while and so far, I do :)
Nice Jugs
