I caught a glance, but looked away because I was convinced that she couldn’t be mine anyway. We sat down for lunch... far away and God gave me some words to say. *Gosh, what a great experience that was, God I love you so much.* There was something about her that I knew was special. And I wasn’t willing to let it go, even though I didn’t know what that meant at the time.

I was at the Fishermans Warf on San Clemente pier having lunch with my parents on a beautiful southern California day. I remember sitting down and telling my parents.

I remember when we connected, something was different, this guy understood me, everything I was saying he was registering and getting it. I remember seeing this sparkle in his eye, he looked at me as if I was a wonder, and I knew I was done for, I knew if I let him, I wouldn’t be able to go back.
