A Year Ago Today March 18, 2014<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A year ago today at 3:30pm was the first time I had seen Lindsey in since the previous Summer (2013).<\/p>\n

The occasion was to look at her bathroom in a little duplex she had bought in spring of 2013.<\/p>\n

Thru the fall and winter she would invite me to various real estate meetings as she knew that I was a landlord for many years but that I did not know much about buying and selling and different ways to finance things like that. She had a boyfriend so it was just a friendly kind of invite. Lindsey Loved to include others in her activities either for their own good or just to have another person to talk to.<\/p>\n

I also saw her once that fall at our mutual friend Marie\u2019s wedding. I was the photographer for that occasion so I was pretty busy but I could not help but notice the dress Lindsey had on that\u2019s for sure! But more than anything we both were occupied and I do not remember saying hardly anything to Lindsey then.<\/p>\n

After the 4th invite to a real estate function, I just had different things come up each time the event happened, I thought to myself, \u2018the next time she invites me I gotta make it or I am an idiot!\u2019<\/p>\n

She and I had a facebook chat in December and just caught up a bit about what was going on in our lives. She had a New boyfriend. She actually invited me to meet them because we were both photographers so I knew it was again just a friendly invite from Lindsey. I told her about my niece Becca and she loved the maternity images I had shot of her when she was expecting their first child.<\/p>\n

Then in March was the first time\u00a0 she mentioned to me about the bathroom remodel and we made plans to look at it.<\/p>\n

I did not know if she had a boyfriend or not, but it was sorta in my mind that I really always felt so comfortable talking to her or texting her. She always asked me about what I was up to and was genuinely interested in things I did or plans I had. We agreed to meet at 3:30pm at her place.<\/p>\n

KC arrived just a bit before me that day and then the three of us just discussed the ideas and the timetable for the process. I have written about this particular meeting and how it went and all that in earlier posts. (A Man Can Always Dream)<\/a><\/p>\n

So what do I think about that meeting Today on the anniversary of it?<\/p>\n

I think I was brave to tell KC at the end of that meeting, \u201cKC, I am gonna make a run at this girl\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that decision to for the first time in a Long time at least open the door of my heart and really show it to someone and see what might happen. It was the best decision I have ever made. I would do it all again tomorrow if I could even if it meant loosing her again.<\/p>\n

Over the next few weeks on these special anniversaries I aim to share some personal thoughts and tell some personal stories. I am so glad many have taken an interest in it too. For me it just helps to share and to remember the emotions of those days.<\/p>\n

As I left her place that afternoon, I had No idea what lay ahead for me and Lindsey. I only knew I was not going to be a dispassionate contractor, I was going to pry open my heart and show it to Lindsey little by little, or so I thought. She just made it easy to live openhearted.<\/p>\n

It would be a week before we saw each other again. It was not really love at first sight. I have sorta been suspicious of that but it was surely nice to get reacquainted with her again after not seeing her for so long.<\/p>\n

On the drive home I could not help thinking Wow, she is not dating right now. I remembered my earlier thoughts from when she invited me in the fall to many real estate meetings. I also remembered her shyness at the drive in movie night late August 2013 and that inkling I had that she might have been shy and wearing sunglasses after dark because she too had feelings for me.<\/p>\n

I felt Alive driving home just to even think I might have a small chance with her! Perhaps she was brave enough to consider an older guy ? Was I ready to think about a much younger woman?<\/p>\n

My heart said don\u2019t forge too far ahead, but don\u2019t be reluctant to give it a chance.\u00a0 I never asked her about how that meeting felt to her. But soon she was inviting me to things and I was more available and the story began to slowly unfold between us.<\/p>\n

I miss you Lindsey Rae. But today was a good day and so was a year ago today. I love you forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
