How odd!  I just received an email from my first love back when i was seventeen… It didn’t last long but for me it lasted a lifetime. I relish that year as one of total happiness, my grand-mother moved on with us as she wanted “to divorce” after fifty years of marriage as my grand father didn’t make the celebrations of half a century they spent together. We didn’t take it seriously but loved having Mamie around everyday she cooked us different and delicious meals, sewing in the afternoon, her hands never at rest.  My first love looked like Mickey Rourke, one of the handsome guys in school and he asked me to date him!  I was feeling whole, my dreams had came true. I remember him as one does with first love with romantic eyes, we never argue, we had fun, we danced… we spent endless hours talking. He had this “mobylette” that i thought was sooooo cool riding behing him feeling his male scent how unerving that was and exciting! We were free spirited but still so shy. …
