May third, what a glorious day for our family.
The year was 1975. It was the first Friday in May. Somehow, God only knows and I thank him even now, I caught the eye of this very pretty girl. She was in 7th grade, I was in 8th. She asked her friend about me and that friend later shouted down the hallway of our Jr. High something that was prophetic- how could she know? “Mary loves Peter!!” It was too ridiculous to be true , Mary was way out of my league, so when I heard it I thought it was a joke. Later that day that same girl would see me on my paper route and confirm that a very pretty, very smart, very gifted girl was interested in me. That day changed my life. The course of my life and every good thing that’s happened to me since then hinges on that day, that pretty girl,and that friend.
All of our family and all of our adventures started on that day. I am so grateful to God for our meeting and our subsequent life of love that started on that day in May, 197_ something. ❤️
Happy anniversary Mary and thank you Janetta.
