His Story

 “Hey, I know her.”  Is what I said to Patty as we were checking out at Walmart.  I swear  that’s her.  Her is referring to a girl I knew when I was 16 years old.  We dated a few times and then she disappeared.  I went to her mom’s to figure out where she was.  Her mom did not give me any information.  So, I had to accept that I couldn’t find her.  Now here we are 30 years later and I see her again.  After trying many different avenues to find the person I wanted to be with and not being successful, naturally I am interested in just about everyone.  However, I remembered this girl.  I really wanted to see her and was very sad that I couldn’t find her.  My goodness I thought to myself, I have approximately 4 minutes to do SOMETHING.
