Good 37 ยบ dark foggy morning.
Today is a day that I wish I could celebrate on a bigger
scale, as it is Jerry's birthday. We had some things in common.... both of us
having birthdays on the second of the month, 3 months apart. My daughter born on
Halloween and my son born on Valentine's Day. Jerry's dad born on Halloween and
his mom on Valentine's Day!
I met him at Temple Sheriff's Station
when I went in to apply
for the test for deputy. He was working the desk, dispatcher at the time, and
came out to ask if he could help me. He said he was smitten from that moment. I
was too. We went out on our first date a couple weeks later and never were apart
from that day on!
Jerry Wayne Maxwell 12-2-40 - 2-12-07 (odd, right? born on 12-2 and died on 2-12)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
