Love Rekindled: A High School Sweetheart's Journey.

They say high school sweethearts are a thing of the past, but for Glenda and me, our love story defied the odds. From the moment our eyes met on that fateful first day of Grade nine, I knew there was something special about her. It may sound cliché, but it's the honest truth.

As the days turned into weeks, Glenda and I became inseparable. We shared countless laughs, walked home together, and spent every moment we could in each other's company. Life felt perfect with Glenda by my side, and I believed we would be "Stan and Glenda" forever.

But as life often does, it took us on different paths. Glenda's family moved away, and despite our promises to stay in touch, the distance took its toll, and we drifted apart. The years passed, and we lost touch completely.

Fast forward twenty-five years, and our high school reunion was upon us. I hesitated, feeling unsure about attending with recent setbacks in my personal and professional life. However, something pulled me to go, hoping for a glimmer of fun amidst my doubts.

Stepping into that familiar gymnasium, where our story began, I couldn't believe my eyes. There she was, Glenda, as beautiful as ever. As if no time had passed at all, she walked over to me and said those words I had longed to hear, "You're Stan, right?" Without missing a beat, I replied, "Yes, sir-ee, that's me," with a smile that mirrored my excitement. Could it be real? Was this truly my Glenda?

The rest of the evening vanished as we lost ourselves in conversation, oblivious to the world around us. Glenda shared her journey, the loss of her husband Dan, and the new chapter she was starting with her teenage daughter. It was as if destiny had brought us back together, picking up right where we left off, as if the years had melted away.

In that moment, I knew I couldn't let her slip away again. Without hesitation, I asked Glenda to marry me, and to my delight, she accepted, sealing our love once more. I am now blessed to have my high school sweetheart as my wife, a testament that true love finds its way, even if it takes a little longer than expected. Better late than never, our love story continues, filled with a lifetime of cherished memories and the promise of a future together.
