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?
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.
I'm silly. I just re-organized my cash drawer so that every guest has a chance of getting a new $5 bill.

The results would be a person who's quadriplegic. But I've read people discussing a theoretical case of a person who's already quadriplegic and who's body is dying having their head transplanted to a healthy but brain dead body. I don't think anyone's
seriously
considered this, but who knows what the future holds....

My Dad was her third husband. We were a bit worried since this came out of nowhere (my Dad had been a widow for 7-8 years) and her first husband and a few of her kids had died. But she is really a lovely, caring woman. I was very happy she was around to take of my Dad the last couple of years of his life.
