This is our story ... we have been divorced, but within 2 years were back together because we are, above all else, best friends.
We met at Camp LeJeune when we were introduced because we were from the same state (they did that LOL). We were also stationed in the same battalion and housed in the same barraks building. And, the first night I was in the barraks, he was the duty officer for the barraks. But, I was supposed to have been at the base a month earlier which would have had me stationed elsewhere except I had an opportunity to pull recruiting duty for a month, delaying my posting.
We started dating and when we both got out, moved to his home town together. During this time, I kept my hair short, but a couple of years after we got out, I started letting my hair grow long. One day, standing in front of the bathroom mirror, putting my hair in a ponytail, my husband suddenly said, "Hey, I know you!" I laughed and said "you should, I am your wife." LOL But, no, what he meant was something that had happened in 1979 while he was stationed at the base in my home town. He then told me about an afternoon he and a buddy spent at a local tavern playing pool and how these 3 good looking gals wouldn't give them the time of day. And how the cutest one ran the table on his buddy 3 times LOL Yep, you guessed it, that was me and I remembered the day too. Pretty neat that we met up in the Marine Corps all the way out in North Carolina.
But, wait, there's more. We discovered this one just a couple of years ago. When I was 5 years old, there was a major drought in our state and my dad took me and my sister out to the dam for the lake that supplied the city's water to take a look at the processes revealed by the low water level. Sis and I were playing in the spillway below the dam and I spied a blonde headed little boy across the stream in a stripped shirt, cutoff at the knees blue jeans and hightops. We stood there looking at each other for quite a few minutes and I was just getting ready to jump the small stream when dad called us back to leave.
He and I both believe that we are soul mates and have been together through other lives in the past.
intertwining paths? smiles
