Another chapter is submitted, I expect it will show on the website shortly. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the story, as much as I have been enjoying reminiscing! While "Kathy" certainly was "the one that got away", I have to quote Garth Brooks, "Sometimes, God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers!" Had that particular prayer been answered with her continued presence, I would not have met and married The Darling Wife. As entertaining as my memories of yesteryear might be, gotta tell you, I'm in a better circumstance than I had anticipated, were you to meet me 10 years ago. So, Merry Christmas! Let's all spread the gift of being pleasant to one another, and thankful for the gifts we have received (for me, family, job, Darling Wife, being born in America, etcetera), every day of the year.
