In Awe

One day there walked into the little store which at the age of sixteen I worked at a gorgeous boy. I must have dropped my jaw! Like a Prince Charming – someone to adore - was that wonderful dark-eyed young man that I saw! I pinched myself because it seemed unreal that he saw me (this boy who had no flaw) and wanted very much with me to chat. I think of him today and still I feel in awe!

Somewhere in time Andrea, you were mesmerized by this young man who captured your heart. What a great novel you should write.

yes, it is nice to have muses like this for inspiring one's writing. If I wrote a novel, I would want it to be Stephen King-like! This year is a good start for that!!

Those are the kinds of memories that never go away. The 'I can't believe this is really happening to me' moments in life. Not only to see a dreamboat but that they wish to chat with you. Such a charming write of a very relatable moment in life!

The subject of many a poem of mine was this gorgeous boy from quebec. Some memories can never be erased!
