From Val, 60:
I was besotted with one boy in my high school. He was a year older and we were in band together. We had a brief encounter after practice one afternoon, but nothing ever really came of it. I remember talking to Uriel one night and asking him if things between me and the boy would ever work out. “You never know”, he said.
I moved to college, and married a boy from LA. Many years later I was back in my home town visiting relatives after my husband died. I ran into the boy from school who was in town for Thanksgiving with his cousin. We met up for coffee to catch up. A year and a half later we were married.
Next: He made me believe in myself
