So today I went to visit my grandma at work
after school. On the way home I asked her to tell me a story, and
this is what she told me...
There once was a beautiful young girl, all the boys wanted to date
her and she was super popular. On her nineteenth birthday this guy
walked up to her and asked her if he could take her out to dinner
that night. She told him she would like that. That night they
really connected. He told her that he’s liked her for a long
time but never had the guts to ask her out. To his surprise she
said she felt the same way about him. Later that night when he
walked her to the door he asked her if he could take her out on
another date the next night. She of course said yes. The next night
they met on Main Street and started walking down the street. When
they arrived at the entrance of the finest jewelry store in town he
opened the door and followed her in. He told her she could pick out
any ring she wanted. Price didn’t mean anything. She found
the most beautiful diamond and told him she loved it. After he paid
for the ring he followed her outside onto the street curb. &
right there he proposed to her. 11 months later they became husband
and wife. One year later they had their first daughter. Three years
after that they had another daughter. Like every couple, they
fought. But the one difference about them was he always put her
first. On the days he knew she had to work he would make her dinner
and bring it to her along with a single white rose and a single red
rose.
I then asked my grandma how she came up with
such a beautiful story so fast. She told me that she didn’t
have to make it up. & that was the story of her and my papa. I
now know that there are guys that will do anything to make their
girl happy, no matter the pain or cost.
