I love you....

12 years ago today I heard the beautiful words I love you from my Jerry for the first time. The funny thing is the next sound I heard was a dial tone. We had only met 9 days prior. I immediately dialed him back....he didn't answer. I thought great another psycho. I had just dealt with one of those the November before. The next day he called and acted like nothing happened. I played along and then the stinker told me he loved me again and he hung up on me again. I just sat in shock and stared at the phone. One of my co-workers walked by and asked me if I was okay. When I got home that night my mom and dad thought that Jerry was fixing to be history. They thought we had a huge fight. My dad finally said, "Honey, what happened." I said, "He told me he loved me." They died laughing. They couldn't believe that it had made me so mad. Mom said,"Phew we thought he was a goner." I wasn't mad I was just having a little trouble processing the whole thing. Could you blame me after he kept telling me and hanging up? Dad said, "Well what are you going to do about it?" I said, "Well I guess I am going to tell him I love him too if he will quit hanging up on me." And later that night I did and it was not because he told me...He said he kept hanging up so I would not just tell him back because he had told me. He asks me still to this day what I would have said to him if he would have answered the phone that night. Well Stinker you should have answered the phone to find out:)!
