"love at first sight"....

[george]

hmm.

i have known my wife for a very long time. she was actually the first girl i kissed. we were seperated for a few years. the first time i saw her again after our seperation, i did not recognize her, but in those first few seconds i fell in love with her. i could almost hear the universe click.

when each of my children were born, the first moment that i saw each of them i loved them more than i can ever describe.

in each case i KNEW that my life would not be complete without them in it. in each case i felt a level of emotion that went far beyond anything that i ever imagined existed, and could not/can not imagine living without them.

i have had ups and downs with Nancy, but i have never not loved her. there are parts of relationships that get tricky and hard, and it is not always easy to stay together. but even if life had driven us apart (and i speak from experience on this) there is nothing that would make me not love her. she is a part of me as a person, and has been since a sunny july day in 1988.

i believe in love at first site. i believe that love is a very powerful emotion. maybe it does not happen for everyone. i can see where wreck is coming from, and i think you can live just fine without it and be happy. maybe even happier than someone who does have it.

but no argument you make can prove that is anything less real than concrete. i have seen it for myself. maybe i am the exception. but i doubt it.
