And they called it puppy love--do you remember your first love?

[Chainfire]

52. I vividly remember my first trip to the land of love.

I was 14 and she let me kiss her in the back seat of the car when my sister was driving us home from a dance. I was in hog heaven. By 16 we were separated and I was on to my 2nd love and my first French kiss. I remember that like it was yesterday. Fast forward one year and I fell, head over heels for the girl that I would marry two years later. It will be 52 years married this Summer and I have never fallen out of love. I have never been tempted by another.

I was married the day I turned 19 and my wife was a couple of months past 17. We had to promise her Father and Mother that she would finish school. (She ended up with a masters degree, and a good professional career) everyone was betting on whether the marriage would last six months.

Life has been good to me.
