My first love...*sigh*...that brings back a lot of memories for me. Fifteen years old, entering my sophomore year in high school, not knowing my head from my ass, and I met this guy who went to my school at a skating rink 2 years my senior. We exchanged numbers and talked or saw each other everyday for the next 5 years (uncommon for teenagers).
This was a guy that showed me patience, showed me love, and even showed me how to scratch on the 1s and 2s...he was a DJ. He treated me like a lady, even though I didn't realize it at the time. We would actually date...movies, dinner, bowling, etc. He taught me how to play video games (remember Tecmo Bowl?) He taught me about sex, as he was my first. He taught me about responsibility, as when I became pregnant at 18, he did any- and everything he had to do to make sure our child had everything she needed and some of what she wanted.
This is a man that has been in my life for longer than any man not related to me has been...25 years and we are still friends today. He celebrated his birthday yesterday so Happy Belated Birthday JW and I wish you all the happiness your heart can hold and as much happiness as you showed to me back then.
