This reminds me of an 82 yr. old woman I befriended many years ago in Chicago. She had abandoned the love of her life because her parents forbade her to continue seeing the man because he was a Free Mason. She met him at a funeral many years later after she'd had her first child and they had a precious few moments together in an empty quiet room to talk. Her marriage was not a happy one but she never allowed herself to feel her deep regret until she found in me a true friend in which she could confide.

Oh Carol, pleased honor her by writing her story! I, for one would love to read it. It's romantic, yet tragic they couldn't be together. Thank you for sharing this and for your comments.
