The "Gift" of Singleness

At the age of almost 25 - no prospects

God brought a lovely woman into my life. The company where I worked (IBM), hired her and she sat in the same 4 desk quad with me.

The first time I asked her out, she said “no”

Because I had been shot down so many times, I had a rule “ask ‘em out once only”

For some reason I asked her out a second time.

After we had dated a brief time I asked her to marry me and she said “no”

About 6 months later she said “yes”

Have been married 42 years
