I’m an average woman.

I’ve done average, everyday things.

I’ve had an average life.

But I have not had an average love.

My love story is that of a miracle, if you ask me.

What happened to me doesn’t happen to everyone. Not everyone gets to start over. But I did.

He is gone now, long gone. He died in his sleep 4 years ago, at 83 years of age. I’m 87 now, a gray haired old woman with a few troublesome but adorable grandchildren.

My story doesn’t begin now, at the ending of my life. No, it starts somewhere toward the beginning.

When I was seventeen years old, in high school, and more in love than I had ever thought possible.

After you read my story, you will believe in love, in second chances, and most importantly, in miracles.

This I guarantee.
