I had a friend who gave me my future guys number and said I should call him because he thought we were perfect for each other. I never called.
One day I decided to call my friend and all of a sudden my friend says “hold on” & I’m talking to some guy who had the sexiest voice I’d ever heard.
A few days later my phone rang….“hello”? “Hi”..I instantly hear it and think HOLLEE CRAP IT’S THE SEXY VOICE and I hung up the phone because I guess I freaked out. And then I thought ”REALLY! What if that was him and he never calls back now!”
But then the phone rang about 10 minutes later, and when we did start talking we talked a lot when he wasn’t working. He was a paramedic so he worked a lot.
He would tell me that in his younger years he was a high school football player who was given a chance to try out for the Toronto Argonauts, I still have the letter here, but he would turn it down because he decided that the path to injury just wasn’t his path after various injuries of his own from just regular high school football, so he decided to be a healer of sorts and first he was thinking about sports massage therapy but ended up becoming a paramedic after the sound of the Ornge helicopter engine called to him, since he always did have a passion for adventure and flying, he also had taken on the passion for drumming in any spare moment he had thanks to the drilling of cadets.
Funny thing is is that we didn’t even actually meet until about 2 months after we started talking. It was purely a phone relationship and we trusted each other for some reason. Since he was a skilled drummer sometimes he would woo me with his drumming over the phone and I’d always tease him that he wasn’t really playing and that it must of been a recording because it was just too good. Lol. He would tell me “I did win a world drumming championship you know and maybe if you didn’t hang up on me in the beginning you would of known that about 20 minutes before right now and maybe we would have met and be married already too. :P” “OK! I’m sorry I hung up, but now you have to do both” I’d say. And he did.
I still have his snare drum but I sold the expensive electronic Roland drum set to a good friend of his.
When we met the sparks were already there. The sparks lasted from the moment he took my breath away until the moment I had to make the choice to turn off his life support and take his final breathe away. Then the sparks ignited a fire which burned a big gaping wounded hole in my heart and soul and band aids don’t fix that. But the revolution comes when you notice that something you say now produces a smile and a faint laugh where a month ago it would of produced a stream of tears and a slight whimper. We had many years of happiness which seems like a blip on a radar, that part is the saddest part to me.
