I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Exactly the edits I would have made.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My father was engaged to someone when he was 24 and she was 17. 50 or so years later (and after my mom died), he ran into her sister at a reunion and decided to get in touch. They married soon after.
How many ladies are in this story? Miss A, engaged to your father at age 17--is this also your mom? The woman, Miss Z, that he married soon after--whose sister is she?
The head transplant reading has made my right arm tingle distractingly. Today as a workday is entirely too long.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Thanks, guys!

More like, my Dad was engaged to a women (Miss A), broke it off because she wanted to settle down right away, fought in World War II, went to college, met my mom on a blind date when he was 37 and proposed almost immediately, was with my mom for almost 30 years until she died, bored himself to tears for a few years, went back to his hometown for his 50th reunion and ran into Miss A's sister, contacted Miss A (who lived in Reno!), and proposed to Miss A a few months later. It was quite a surprise since I was the only one of my siblings who had even known he had been engaged once before.

Hmmm... in the 9th grade she used to pick on me. Maybe she did have a crush on me....
She TOTALLY did!
And having someone want to set you up with their sister is definitely a vote of "you rock"!
There were several people I was really hoping would be at my high schol reunion. They were not there. Ah well.

Scola, you're cute. You should be dating everyone's sister! (Uh, that didn't sound icky in my head. There you go, making me fourteen again.)

That dog in snow sure looks happy. Gave me some time to think about head transplant surgery, though. Given that it's been done on animals, how come it hasn't been done on people? We're ill enough that I'm positive you could find volunteer test subjects among the sane.
Megan, that is a lovely story. Sometimes "right person, wrong time" works out. What was Miss A doing in the meanwhile? I hope she wasn't single.
