Cool thread.
I had known my future wife casually for a few years. She was a friend of my SIL and we occasionally showed up at the same events but had never really spoken or interacted much. She was way out of my league anyway.
We both went to a high school wrestling tournament one weekend. I arrived late and couldn't find a good place to sit. She hollered at me and said I could come sit next to her so I did.
We talked and I told that girl dirty jokes for the next 2 hours and kept her laughing the whole time. Before I left I asked her out and the next weekend we went on our first date and have been together ever since.
Now she's terminally ill and on home hospice. I care for her 24 hours a day and will for as long as God sees fit to leave her with me. They gave her less than six months and that was over 3 years ago. She can't speak but she knows I'm here supporting and loving her. She's been my best friend and partner for 4 decades and I can't imagine what my world will be like without her.
That's enough, I'm getting my phone screen wet.
Like I said...cool thread.
