It has been a robot functioning week, my to-do list didn't change much..baby steps..
Tonight for some reason my first date with Jack has been imbedded in my brain. It was the summer of 1978. I had been eyeying him for awhile throughout the school year. The weight room was adjacent to the exit door for the girl swimmers. I would peek in and he used to come out to talk.
We were at a mutual gathering, all my friends surrounding me and he wanted to know if we wanted to go to a party the next night.At that point, I was clueless if he meant all of us or just me.
My parents were out of town the next day, my sister Debbie had her besties over, Terri, Lisa and Leigh.(they were Jack's age). They made me call him, after much practice, I called to say none of my friends could make it. He said he would pick me up. The girls made sure I looked good. I was total nerves.
We went to the party for awhile, then left, he drove me to a park north of Hoover High. We talked forever...and then we kissed. Jack had a curfew and wanted to ask his parents if he could stay out 30min. later, they said no.
At that first kiss, I knew this was the guy I was going to marry!!
