43 years ago, I was a 15 year old gal hanging around the horse stable. There was a "real cowboy" who worked there who was 17. He could fling himself up on a running horse, vault on from behind like in the movies. That really impresses a young girl.
We went together the summer of 1967. In the fall he broke my heart. I never really got over him and would always ask a mutual friend how he was doing. Unknown to me, he was doing the same.
I married for 16 years (ok, everyone makes mistakes) but had 3 fantastic kids who have given me 8 beautiful grandkids. He married twice and had 3 also, the same ages as mine. He has 7 grandkids.
Out of the blue, he called me one day. Just as friends we talked about the old days. His second wife was very mean to his kids down through the years and he had had enough.
To make a long story short, he showed up on my doorstep with flowers. At that point I had been single almost 20 years. I had no intention of ever getting married again.
I just wanted to tell this to you and brag a bit on my DH who is the most giving person I have ever known. My kids are his kids and vice versa. He is more of a father to my kids than their own has ever been.
Good things come to those who wait.
