Meeting Louella

January 10, 2010 | Posted by drrick

I was thinking back about when I met Louella. Well, I did not actually meet her…I saw her…from a distance. I was on active duty in the US Navy (A great decision for my life I might add) in 1981 and was attending a Tuesday night church function and I saw her. She walked across the room. From right to left. I remember seeing her. The first time. It would not be the last. I didn’t know her name or who she was. However, what i distinctly remember was the “feeling” I got when I saw her. It wasn’t a tingle. It wasn’t a feeling of passion, or a sudden impulse to jump up and introduce myself. No, I was actually very insecure and afraid of girls for the most part. But this “feeling” when I saw…her. All I can say is that in that moment I knew I wanted to marry her and spend my life with her. I can not explain it. I don’t encourage this for others. But, I knew. It has now been almost 26 years of marriage and I still have those feelings. Ah. I hope I never lose them. More on our meeting and how we got together later.
