Well, it's true... I do care about my kids. I was worried for her the year before, and we did spend a lot of time talking after school. The following week I received an early St. Valentines' Day gift from her. She mailed me a very nice card and a cassette of a beautiful love song... I Knew I Loved You by Savage Garden. February 14 rolls around and... hmmmm... been lonely for quite some time and there's a very attractive nineteen-year-old girl saying she's interested. I know, you're saying... "No, Jones! Don't do it!" ...but I'd been lonely for quite some time and there was a very attractive nineteen-year-old girl saying she was interested. Without calling her in advance, I make a couple quick stops after school and drove two hours to her college. I found her dorm, knocked on her door with a few St. Valentines' Day gifts in return, and was greeted with shock, smiles, and a big monster hug. Jackie's roommate excused herself for a couple hours. It was about midnight when I returned home and for the next couple weeks I was floating on air. |
