We were teens!
We met and fell in love then got married. He was from South Carolina and
I loved his country accent/dialect. He mannerism took me back to a place and time were I was taught that good old fashioned values were important. His entire mind set delivered me to a time and place that was and is still important to me-- the south. He had a southern way about him. It was always" yes ma'am" and "yes sir" and most of all "please" and "very much thank you". I liked that! My parents and grand parents had the same way about them. I guess growing up in the south you just have a more personable mannerism. He gave me a sense of home and then we leaped off into faith and got married at 18. I was just out of high school and a freshman at S.U.N.Y. Albany.
My parents freaked out and of course had plenty of daunting questions that I did not believe I needed to answer. After all, I was legal and an adult. They had know right to question my decision to get married. Surprisingly enough
his parents did not feel the same as mine. I guess because they were married at a very young age themselves. Love is blind and everything else just falls in between.
