…A Story So True,

Brian Tincher

We all remember how we met our spouse or girlfriend and no matter how we met them we are glad we did.  For me, I can’t remember much more than those beautiful green eyes.  She was my love at first sight!  I went to the doctor for a cure and walked out lovesick.  While I was there I acted just like a typical guy.  I spent a half hour acting like a fool and trying to figure out how to get her phone number.  I was funny, I was sweet, I was tough, I was clean, and I am certain I smelled good.  Yet, things just did not work out for me when the time came for me to check out and go home.   She was gone and I could not stale enough to wait for her to return to the office area.  I had to leave without saying goodbye or something catchy like that.

            Two days later I was still thinking about her and our rendezvous with destiny.  However, I couldn’t help feel like she was waaaaaaayyyyyy out of my league.  After all, I was divorced with two young children and I lived in the next county over.  I didn’t have a whole lot going for me or so I thought.  On that day, the phone rang and I remember standing in the hallway with phone in hand talking to “her” and thinking she was calling to check on her favorite patient.  I was shot down when she answered “yes” to my question of does her office call all their patients to check on them.  I was very disappointed and was about to give up when she asked me if I needed to come back in for another checkup?  I immediately said YES and began plotting my future attack on the woman of my dreams.
