It has been 12 years since Shaun and I first met. It's amazing that after spending 5 years apart and not knowing what the other is doing we were able to be blessed with another chance at love.
It was March 3, 1993 that Shaun and I first met. I was in the 8th grade and Shaun was a big, bad, unbelievably cute 9th grader. It was during our teacher strike at Vallejo Jr. High that Shaun talked one of his friends into switching classes with him so he could be with me in my typing class. When Shaun first sat across from me I wouldn't look at him. I thought that he was the most irritating person in the room and didn't want anything to do with him. After spending the class period with him I realized that he was the greatest person in the world, aside from my Dad, and I wanted to get to know him. We started "dating" and we would walk around school holding hands and hugging and sometimes he would walk me home. It was the most amazing 2 weeks of my life. And then we broke up.
After the summer, Shaun graduated into the 10th grade and attended Vallejo Sr. High (right across the street from the Jr. High) and I proceeded to the 9th. A couple of months into the new school year Shaun and I ran into each other in the morning. He was walking to class while I was walking to meet with a friend. When he saw me he stopped in his tracts and said he was happy to see me. From that moment we were inseprable, at least for another 2 weeks. He broke my heart twice...how was I to survive?!
Shaun moved to Fremont for his last two years of high school. He ***e back to Vallejo in the summer of 1996. We ran into each other at our old Jr. High. He was coming out of the gate of the school as I was going in. I was surprised to see him and I was sooo happy. :) We talked for a few moments and then he had to go so we exchaged phone numbers and said we would call. Sure enough he called me that night and we went out. We picked up where we left off before he left; it was amazing. About a month went by and Shaun had made the decision for us to stop seeing each other. Unfortunately, I was already with someone and had invested 2 years with that person and Shaun had just met his now ex-wife. He said that if I couldn't make the decision to be soley with him then we couldn't be together and he said good-bye.
He went on to marry "the other woman" and I met my daughter's father and moved to Fairfield. I was with him for 4 years had a wonderful baby girl and thought about Shaun occasionaly about what he was doing and how he was doing. We never once saw each other during that 5 years he was married; no correspondence at all. I finally got my parents to move to Fairfield to be closer to me and their new granddaughter in late 2001. It was a great move. January 2003 ***e along and I received a phone call from my mother saying that I received a letter from Shaun. I was so surprised and getty inside I drove right over and picked it up. All it said was, "Cindy, Call me. Shaun." And he left a phone number. I held that paper as long as I could asking myself over and over again, "do I call, do I call?" So finally I called and he picked up and asked if he could call me back after work. I was in shock and was like, "aaaaa ok." Shaun decided that after his divorce was final that he would try to find me. He ended up mailing that little note to my parents old address but since they had moved 2 years prior it technically shouldn't have made it to me. My mom befriended the post lady (and they are still close friends till this day) and when Jackie saw it was addressed to me, against postal forwarding expiration, she sent it on its way to my mom and dad's place. I received it on January 15, 2003. We had our first face-to-face meeting on January 19, 2005 and knew that it was from then on that we were meant to be with one another. I have loved him from the very beginning and everytime we went our separate ways we were always pushed back together. I don't know how else to explain it except that we were meant to be with each other.
We did all our growing apart, had our families with other people just so we have more patience with each other and so we could blend our families. Now we have been blessed to have found each other and are making it official August 21, 2005. And I can't wait! :cool:
