Dream Date

A dream date just happens! You can try to plan and hope it comes out perfect but the best ones are the ones you don’t plan and end up been amazing. It was an evening in 1995 me and my girlfriends decided to go out for a couple of drinks. As we enter this place talking with each other suddenly a gentleman stops me as I was passing by and he says to me “has anybody ever told you that you are the most beautiful girl in the world” and my reaction of course was he is crazy, after all who says things like this to a total stranger. I went about to eat with my girlfriends as the evening passes I could feel a stare all night. When it was time to leave I noticed he was still there and in the path where I had to go through. I wasn’t sure if to wait for him to leave or what to do, it didn’t seem like he was leaving any time soon. So I decided to leave and as I’m walking by him he grabs me and stops me again and he says “will you marry me?” of course my reaction now is for sure this guy is definitely really crazy, as I’m leaving from that madness he grabs my hand and puts a paper in my hand. I crushed up the paper and stuck it in the pocket of my suit dress. We left and I forgot about everything soon after and didn’t think anything of it. I took my dress to the cleaners, when I picked up my clothes from the cleaners they give me the paper that was left in the pocket of my dress. One day as I’m looking at this paper I just couldn’t stop myself from thinking about this guy that was very different to anyone I have ever met. I kept thinking about him and looking at this crushed up paper with a name and a phone number. Soon I just couldn’t stop myself from calling. This is when the beginning of a beautiful friendship with this stranger started. I called and we immediately just started talking as if we knew ourselves since forever, we talked for months about everything. If this is not what souls mates is I don’t know what it was but somehow the universe brought us together and we just knew we were meant to be. Soon the day came to meet again after several months of our long relationship over the phone. The day came to have our first date, It was a cool evening I’m March of 1996 I was going to his house for dinner and drinks, he had everything perfect a candlelight dinner with some glasses of merlot. I can still remember taking the first sip of the glass of Merlot like if it was yesterday. After a fantastic dinner he then amazed me with his knowledge of making amazing tasting mixed drinks. He had the best taste for music. Everything about him was wonderful he strived to be the best in everything he did. We were very compatible in our likes and dislikes, we seemed to agree in everything we were a match made in Heaven at least that’s what it felt like. It seemed as if the world stopped turning when we were together. Soon enough we were feeling good and tipsy. We went outside to the backyard and he had a beautiful pool and jacuzzi. He laughed and said “I bet you won’t jump in the pool”, it was still very cold weather. Without even thinking, I took off my clothes left my undergarments on and jump in the pool. When I got out I was freezing so he removed his clothes and we went in the jacuzzi. We kissed and had passionate sex. We spent quite some time playing in the jacuzzi having so much fun. After the jacuzzi we went in the shower, and again spent a while loving each other in the shower. Next to the bedroom and we couldn’t keep from making love to each other once we were in bed. It was the best and amazing perfect first date! We fell completely in love with each other. This man became my husband, we were married for 22 yrs and we had four amazing children we lived our lives loving each other and the passion never subsided till the last day. We lived a full life and spent more time together than probably any other couple in this world, we couldn’t be apart from each other. I say the last day because I lost my husband, best friend, and soul mate to COVID in January of 2021. He fought for 7 months and I can’t say that he ever have up he did all he could to not leave me. He had multiple intubations and went through so much, he lost his battle. He is gone but left me with so many beautiful memories of how we lived life to the fullest and filled with love and passion. I can honestly say we lived a full life with no regrets and most importantly above everything with God in our lives! I miss my soul mate everyday of my life, he waits for me and when our zHod calls on me I know my love will be waiting for me with a glass of Merlot to have another first date in Heaven and live and enjoy our love for eternity.
