Norma's Story
Life
After high school, I began to work at the base P.X. It served as a bridge from high school days to the adult world. I met the love my life working there. He was in the Navy, and he took my heart by storm! We spent a whole year just liking each other..I never dated in school. So, it was just the right speed for me. Eventually, we did take the friendship further and we became first-time parents in 1982. We had a beautiful daughter...who still is the light of our lives. Sometimes life throughs curve balls at us, and the day came when we had to part company. I had no regrets, and I didn't have time for tears..parenthood doesn't stop because it's just not how you had planned. I thought of him all the time. She has his eyes..so, it was like seeing him everytime I looked into them. I eventually moved on, but he always held my heart. I left Oceanside and moved to Honolulu for quite some time. Then, from there I relocated to Vegas..where I've lived and worked for the past 17 years. It has been said that all work and no play...Expand for more
...well, you know the saying. So, I went on a vacation to our Nation's Capitol. Playing tourist, and seriously lost..I asked a man, who was obiviously a local..with a very kind face for directions. But something in his eyes was so familiar to me, even though he was a stranger..I was at ease speaking to him. It was as if I knew him all my life. And when I shook his hand to thank him for helping me, it hit me. I realized that there in fromt of me, as if it were my favorite dream come true, and a prayer answered..was my very first love, the father of my little girl. I was speechless! Him, at 51..the years had been very kind to him. He was still the same 25 y/o I first met..suddenly, I was 21 again. And love that always seemed to elude me..since him, came back into my heart. They say there are no such things as accidents or coincidences in life. I can tell you that truer words were never spoken. We stay in contact to this day (sometimes 2,3,or 4 times a day!)vowing to never lose touch again. True love never stops believing!
