I remember the day I first saw him. My heart skipped a beat. I know it sounds cliche, but I really did take pause. I was selling my children’s book at our Christmas bazaar and had been sitting in the corner wedged between shiny jewelry, chiffon scarves, and knock off designer bags. Behind me were these affectionately grotesque rag dolls that were made to look like the flight attendants. In short order– I was not getting much traffic. Suddenly, he entered the room. An Adonis, his imposing six foot four frame filled the doorway, towering high above the average everybody and looking fine in his polyester blue. He hesitated a moment and glanced around the crowded little room. "Lord, if only this man would come to my table. Please come, please come, please come!" He began to weave through the maze of shoppers, slowly zigzagging in my direction."Oh no, he is coming this way!" I dropped my head and pretended to read, but I could sense his presence coming ever closer…
It has been over ten years …. and he still makes my heart soar. Happy Valentine's Day!
