Priscilla's Story

My Life: I lived in California for 13 years and moved back to IL. I have been blessed with 2 amazing kids and no one could ask for anything better. I have a son, Michael, who is a sales manager and moved back to Ca, doing extremely well. I have a beautiful daughter, named Megan. She has her own business, a salon in Warrenville and doing outstanding! She loves Pink and you can most likely guess the name of her salon. ( lol) Great news, she is got married, one I will never forget! ... Finally one of my kids, got married! As long as they are happy, then I am happy as that's really what's most important, isn't it? Now as for me... the last time I wrote what I have been up too, I had said more to come. Oh, there has been a lot going on and I am sorry that I haven't been on here for so long as I have so many messages and it was not on purpose that I did not respond. I've had a lot of medical issues and they seem to finally have a handle on it and I am so thankful that Rick, who stood by my side the whole time. I truly would have been lost without him, so I am truly thankful for him, along with my family. God has blessed me, beyond belief. I am making this a short version as at the moment I have a lot going on but it was important for me to update this. As I had not only reconnected with Rick but so many of my HS friends! I was married twice and although I had a whole in my heart that just couldn't seemed to be filled. Please don't get me wrong, my 1st marriage, we had 2 beautiful kids and we still have a friendship. However, I had that hole in my heart that even when I married the second time, that hole was still there. I just assumed that this was the way it was suppose to be. Just going through the motion, doing your own thing, living life like that..with that someone, isn't really living life as God had intended it to be. The funny thing was, I never stopped thinking about Rick, who was truly my High school sweetheart and my first true and really my only love as I discovered! I would think about him all the time, every day & night, I would pray to God, just give me that one chance to just talk to him, know if he was okay as I had no idea if he even remembered me! Or would even want to talk to me? All I know is that I wanted to talk to him, I needed to explain why I left and whats been in my heart, I needed to go back to that chapter. I kept on going through life, thinking about him.. I had no idea where he lived, what he was doing, I had no idea if he was still alive! Then I was then introduced to the world of the internet and I would search for him and you have no idea, how many Richard Samples, are out there, a lot and not knowing where he lived, didn't help. Plus, I didn't know what he would say, if I did find him. The weird thing is that I would check classmates so many times and his name never showed up and I mean that I'd check, every time I went online. Then one day, I noticed his name as a person who had showed up on classmates and of course I clicked on his name and it brought me to his profile and life story. I was scared to death, sent him a couple of emails and through a classmate, I got his number and after building up my nerve & called and it was if we had never stopped talking. It was if we had never ever been apart or stoppe...Expand for more
d talking and I wasn't afraid to say what was within my heart and what I had always wanted to say. I am not kidding when I said we would talk, we talked hours and hours everyday! What I didn't know is that he had always been thinking about me and wanted to know the same thing and after talking for so long, we decided that we needed to talk in person, he was living in another State and flew out. You have no idea how nervous we both were but I knew it was something I just had to do, especially since I had prayed about it all the time and that moment had finally arrived. Well, once he got off that plane, I knew before even saying a word, we just locked eyes and from that point, I knew why I had that hole in my heart. The man that I never stopped loving, was in front of me and we talked and talked and it was if we had never been apart! I don't know How I can truly explain It? I am talking " 30 yrs" apart! but it was if we had NEVER been apart? For what ever the reason was that we were apart, I am so thankful that God, had granted us both of our wishes and several years later~ We did it and GOT married this year. ( By the way, that hole in my heart, is finally filled! ) My whole life, I have always wanted was for my Husband to be a man who was on the same page and what I mean is someone to not just grow old with but that Love where you you are, coffee shop, dinner, doesn't matter where but a good example would be: Both of us sitting in a coffee shop or restaurant and the other would know exactly what the other was thinking. You know, the one who could complete your sentence or even know what your thinking. We have that and I now know what Love truly is and if you have it, you would definitely know what I am talking about. Its a unbelievable feeling. I have been blessed with the most amazing man, wonderful Kids,a great family, the best Parents and beautiful Grand kids! and whats so unreal.... we just recently found out that both of our Parents, were married on the same day! They were married on Feb 27th!. That was so amazing to us and of course that day is our anniversary too.. God, does amazing things, I've seen it myself. We both are truly happy and a " Thanks to that person, who was the one who brought us together. We have a small farm, which I have named all 17 cows and NO, we are not eating them ( lol ) along with some beautiful ducks. ( yes, I have named them and NO, we are not eating them either ) I can't get over how our cattle know us and how much they love Rick. The Hummingbirds and Ducks, come to me and eat, right out of my hand. The Cows do too but they spend their time following Rick, everywhere in the pastures. They are all so sweet and some are expecting. Last, there's Maggie, our German Shepard. As I have always said, we have but 1 life, their are not practice runs so live life to the fullest. I still believe in karma, treat all people with kindness and most of the time, if it's not returned, turn the other way, as life is too short for all the drama. If you stop bye, say "Hello" as we would love to hear from you. we are really looking forward to the next reunion, as we have missed them all! I hope we have one next year? I know Lori Q, helped organize one year- So, I cast my vote for Lori, to plan our next one... (lol)
