It's Valentines Day what better time than today for me to introduce you to my Honey. We have know each other for 34 years. I first noticed him in high school. My best friend (Lynn Thorn) and I had home room together at the back of the school. Almost every morning, during home room, I would notice a blonde haired boy come flying in to the school parking lot, jumping up on a concert divider in a stars and stripe jeep, wearing Levi's, white shirt and a demin jacket. Of course he was late for school. He only lived maybe 4 block away. I ask Lynn "Who is that boy?" She knew he well because they were born on the same day at the same hospital. They had been crib mates, Elementary School buddies and High School Buddies. We talked and I told her how cute he was and I would like to go out with him. This all took place in the fall. Freddy was very shy and it took him awhile to ask me out. The first time he tried, he walked up to my car and knelt down on the ground to talk. Liz and I were sitting in the car talking and laughing. I turned around and he was there and I was laughing. He got up and walked away because he thought I was laughing at him. Lynn found me and asked "What did you do to Freddy?". Of course I told her the whole story. It took him several months before he would ask again. We dated our senior year. After graduation, we just went our seperate ways. I never forgot the love I felt for this kind and gentle young man. Sereval years later I was at Lynn's house at Lake Lanier. She had married and had two little girls. When I got there she told me that Freddy had just left. I told her to have him call me and maybe we could get together. He called and it was like we had never been apart. When we got married, I was 23 and he was 24, He told me that I was the only person that he had ever loved. That he would always love me and that we would be married forever. The young blonde haried, blue eyed boy that I feel in love with is the same man that I love today. We have built a successful business, raised two children and had alot of fun over the past 27 years. There are times that I could kill him and not bat an eye. But where would I be without him? He is rock, my partner and the love of my life. On this day of hearts and flowers, I can only say that "I love You".

Now through out this blog you may hear a different song but remember he is my love.
