So, My Readers, considering that It is Valentine’s Week, I thought that I would tell you a Story, and rerun a Story, about What I call, “Destiny in The Making.” You See, I went to a Wedding Reception over The Weekend. It starred a Couple who was Very Clearly Meant to be, It was “Destiny in The Making” in Every Sense of The Word. It was My Neighbor Rob and His Childhood Sweetheart (Literally), Caree. It was So Beyond Romantic, and even more Rare! I watch a lot of Romantic Comedies and What I call “Soulmate Movies” but, Only Twice in Person have I have seen a Love Story that is, “Destiny in The Making.” To put it in a Short Version, Rob and Caree grew up together, Rob moved away, and, finally 42 Years Later, They reconnect and Fell in Love. It was as if They had never separated. The Story of Rob and Caree though, Reminds of a “Destiny in The Making” Story that happened in My Own Family. So, to get You in the already Valentine’s Day Mood from The Previous Story, this is a Rerun of Another Story. I wrote This Newsletter on April 6th of 2011. I was inspired by This Story as well as Rob and Caree’s, that There is such a thing as a True Love Story, “Destiny in The Making” that is NOT just in The Movies. Enjoy! And, Happy Valentine’s Day to All of You!

Every now and then, I really like to read Romantic Stories of people who have found their Soulmate or “Best Friend” as many others call it. I love reading how they met and how they felt when they saw each other, How it felt for them to have Love at First Sight and finally, What’s it like having them around now. Now, as we know or should know Our Soulmate isn’t perfect, as the story that I’m going to tell you about. They may have a flaw in looks, behavior (like in my case, Clearing My Throat or being a Control-freak), or a different “Money System” than you we’ll call it; and, by “Money System” I mean something like he likes to Save and She spends her heart out. Anyway, back to the story. Well, it turns that believe it or not, there is a Soulmate Story in The Smith Family and it stars the 2 Favorite People of The Smith Family, Popi and Grandma Honey. Now, because this is an original love story we’re going to address them by their real names, Warren (Popi) and Jeanette (Grandma Honey). Anyway, Warren and Jeanette met in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1959. They met at a friend’s party and they became friends. They hung out together all the time and before long, they were as they refer to as “Best Friends” because then there wasn’t such a word as “Soulmates”. Anyway, before long they decided to get married and have kids, Bruce, Craig, Julie (My Mom), and Brian all within a couple years of each other. As the kids grew up in Elementary School, they moved to Auburn, Maine for a better life. Because Ann Arbor wasn’t as safe as it used to be and there was less crime in Auburn. Of Course, we know that Jeanette had a program for Expectant Teenage Mothers in Auburn, Everyone loved her and she touched many lives. After they lived in Maine for a while, they decided to move back to Toledo. This time they lived on the Eastside of Toledo and My Mom had to ride the bus to get to her school because it was the only good school in the area and it was on the West Side. The great thing about these two soulmates or “Best Friends” is that they knew how to work together to be great parents with 4 Kids. Their Life centered on their 4 children. They loved each other very much. But, the sad part of the story is that many times they were two very different people who did and still love each other very much. But, they chose to divorce instead of argue. However, They continued to date each other after the divorce because they enjoyed each other and still loved each other. A Couple Years Later, Warren married someone else and Life took Jeanette to Atlanta, Georgia. Now, Although Warren was married to someone else, He and Jeanette still enjoyed conversations with each other because of Their Deep Friendship and Worked Together as Parents for Their Children. The woman who Warren was married to was jealous of their relationship and tried to push them away from each other. So, this story ends with Warren in the final moments of his life on the phone with Jeanette as He wished her a Happy Birthday. And, Warren’s last words to Jeanette were “I Love You” and Jeanette’s last words to him were “I Love You too”. (This is Why I feel so Strongly about saying “I Love You” to those who are Important to You, because You never know if it will be The Last Time) So, this shows that although he was married to someone else, he did still love his Soulmate, “Best Friend”, and True Love, Jeanette. All in all, the moral to our family’s love story is that it’s actually true what they say, True Love does last forever even a thousand miles away.




Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Everyone has a True Love who is made just for them and it can last forever.
