Sweeter than all the diamonds in the world !

You’re wondering why I cherish some dried up wild flowers that are twenty three years old. When I was fifteen, my fourteen year old boyfriend picked these wild flowers for me. I think he picked them from the field behind my house. What makes them so special? I was so madly in love with him. I have never been madly in love with any other man in my life. I was over helping my mom when she was moving, and I found the pressed and dried flowers in two plastic baggies that my mom had taped together. Yes, I had tears in my eyes. Most of you know about my sensitive side, so it's no surprise that I got emotional. On the baggie she wrote who they were from and the date. I'm so glad she saved them for me. The first flowers a boy had ever given me. When I look at them, I can see what the flowers looked like the day he gave them to me. I have never received a gift from any other boyfriend that even comes close to my sweet hand picked wild flowers. Everyone have a good day tomorrow :)

Nope, he's happily married. Some people are blessed by being able to reunite with their first love, but for me, it's only been a dream :) He knows how much I loved him. I told him that he would always hold a very special place in my heart, and he will.

Sorta sad, but obviously very nice! I'd have to skip a couple of romances forward from the start to have those kind of feelings still, but they're there! Oh, boy...I mean, oh Girl...
