The Plunge

For years he held “I do” at bay. He used to say, "I love to be completely free “I wish you all the best,” he said as others wed but sought no wife to share his life. **************** Now he’s met one who holds his heart. Their brand-new start begins tonight as love takes flight.

There is that one that makes a guy fall hard…the love of his life. I was just asking my Dad about when he met my mom. Before that he said, he would go out…no big deal. But Mom and Dad clicked. When his Dad asked him what his intention was, he said, “I love her, Dad.” Mom died in April…the story all the more sweeter. Congratulations, Janice!

Life truly has a way of taking our statements about "I will never..." and twisting them into irony! Congratulations on your win Janice. Blessings.
