MISSINGNESS HUGS~First Date Reflections

April 19th, 1974; our 1st Date.

Loving Bob was an adrenaline rush – a natural high; I couldn’t get enough of Bob.

I was addicted from the first time I saw him … no one else would do.

The face I fell in love with in 1967; I didn't learn his name until March 1974 - I snagged my Dream Man in April 1974 ... and would tag his last name to mine in August 1974: and keep it forever.

And 3¼ years into this tipsy-turvy New Life, one else will do.

When we were inadvertently thrown together, and started dating this day in 1974 (seven years after that first sighting), I was ‘hooked’ … and Bob was too, but this is my remembrance moment since it no longer means anything to Bob in Heaven 😉

I love you, Babe ~OX

Bob’s love was my ‘fix’.

And I never wanted to be cured.

The missingness isn’t so raw anymore: it’s still there, and it always will be; but the memories of Bob’s love comforts me – and keeps the dark shadows of grief at bay on days like today, where memories of seeds of a lifelong love were sown … as Elohim brought two young hearts together, that First Date of 1974 😊
