Elementary To Eternity Love

Do you believe in soulmates? If you asked me yesterday, I might have said no, but after hearing this incredible story of first loves given a second chance, I think I've changed my mind.

High school sweethearts Alan and Jany, both graduated from Thomas S. Wooton High School in Maryland between 1977 and 1980. Both of them lost in touch soon after high school, but over thirty years later, they've found way to their first love.

When Alan first met Jany, he was 12 years old and he saw Jany in one of his acting classes.

"There were lots of boys and girls there, but one in particular was cute as she had little freckles on her face and cute strawberry blond hair", Alan told me. "She of course was just 8 or 9 years old and I was too young to even say hi, but I used to think that someday I would marry her."

"Alan's prediction didn't lead to anything until the end of his senior year of high school when he saw Jany in their school's production of "Brigadoon". That night, he went cruisin' to the cast party and saw Jany again. He was taken away by her "farrah fawcett hair", even before he realized she was the same girl he remembered from elementary school.

The next week, he took her out on a date to Washington DC, where Alan says, "I still remember that day really well, she wore the cutest little blue dress and I had fallen for her once again."

Alan and Jany dated for the entire summer, sneaking away at opportunity to be together, and Jany would bring him lunch at the construction site he worked at. He even taught her how to drive in his 1977 orange Ford Mustang.

When Alan left for college, he bought Jany a little 3 diamond chip ring and told her he wanted to marry her someday. But Jany was only 16 at the time, and her parents were alarmed at how serious they were about her. They were both devastated when her father forbid them for continuing to date or even meet.

"It was more painful than anything I had ever experienced but that seemed to be that", Alan shared. "We tried writing and sending secret letters to each other. I even drove back to see her cheer at a few football games, but alas, there was no way we could survive her father's decree."

Even when they weren't together, Alan kept a photo he took of Jany in his wallet for decades- and he didn't take it out until mid 90s, when he was married to another women.

In 2014, both Alan and Jany found themselves unattached once more, and reconnected through a post of Jany made live happily ever after. But after all not all love stories complete on earth, some love stories are beyond life and death. The day they were going to get married Jany died in a car accident while her way to the church. When Alan heard it he was devastated all he said was, "maybe we were meant to have met in heaven among st angles, our love story doesn't have any expiry date, but it's a love story from elementary to eternity."
