I met my wife 48 years ago today. I was my brother’s date at his senior prom and met her there. We’ve been together ever since.
I can’t imagine looking for someone else. I met a girl in junior college and thought she was the one. She wasn’t and couldn’t run away fast enough. I later dated a ballet dancer. She wasn’t exactly pretty, but she inhabited her space with such poise and moved so delicately that I felt I was floating beside her. She disappeared in a puff of air. Then I got involved with two married women. One was young and bored and toyed with me; the other was a mother of three teenagers and liked my writing. I got the sense she was rewarding me for good behavior.
There were others, but the night I met my future wife, the planets were correctly aligned, the moon was full, and the stars winked, “This is the one.” They were right.
