This one goes to the head of the class. It certainly reminds us that some things are meant to be and we can work around them, avoid them, think we know better -- but in the end, they fall into place. How wonderful and how very happy I am for you both.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-83082124711211693162011-05-18T23:14:22.557-06:002011-05-18T23:14:22.557-06:00A great story, Sally!

I loved seeing the kids all dressed up and usually on their best behavior. <br /><br />By the way, your 1961 prom dress is timeless.

My cousin Caron and her husband Buddy met as high school freshmen and married soon after graduation. They have shared so many happy years together and the songs of their youth are some of their special songs as a couple. That's rare enough. But to have that kind of love, lose each other and then find each other again is just so beautiful. May you and Jim have many more lovely years and experiences.Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-33998519836161276302011-05-15T12:46:37.404-06:002011-05-15T12:46:37.404-06:00Oh, Sally, what a beautiful tribute to Jim.
