What was the name of your first love...can you remember ?

my first love was when I was in the 5th grade and she was going into the 6th.
The family moved in across the street and mom said I should go make friends with their son. I tried but I was more interested in talked to his sister who was one year older then me. That summer we spent every day together. Can't remember where her brother was. We would talk, decide to go to the park or collect our coins and go get ice cream. Just sit on the porch and talk. Fall came, school started and I knew that she, being 1 grade higher than me would find new friends and the summer would be over.
First day of school I come out expecting to walk home alone and she is waiting for me.
Can't express how I felt. Lowly fifth grader and this sixth grader wants to walk home with me......wow!
We continued to spend time together until my family moved a couple of months later.
Remember her and will never forget my first love.
 

His name was Jan (the male version of the name). We were both 15. l had to move across the country because of the military.
He asked for us to get married but after several more moves it wasn't possible, This was the era of no computers and highly
expensive phone calls. The military runined my life.
 
Funny how we are all the same. Same hopes, same dreams. Experiences very similar.
Here we are, talking about it all. Most of our friends are gone. We look around and a lot of the faces are gone. Yet! we are here. I try not to forget those who past. I try to remember them all, yet the list is growing. At some point I will be on the remember list. In the mean time, take a deep breath, look at the blue sky and clouds. Smell the air and thank God for his provisions.
Not to be religious but I firmly believe that God has a purpose for us all. When that purpose has been completed we will go home to him. In the mean time I count my blessings and face the next day.
All have a nice day.
