Bill, having been with my wife since high school, I can tell you this, your expressions of her existence and impact remind us why we choose (whether we know it or not) the people that we have in our lives. It's not coincidence that you drove the same cars....there was something there that drew you together.
Those cars are gone now but the times you shared in them are not. But those cars are not REALLY gone, it is likely that someone bought it, restored it back to original and it is bringing them all the joy in the world.
It's the same with your beloved Brenda, she may be gone to you, but she is not really gone, she is just in the process of being restored back to original condition to start again in bringing her vibrance and energy to the Universe...........find peace my friend

I want to thank you for your well put response here. We've always felt that things worked out the way they did (about our meeting and the way it came about) WAS an indication that it was definitely meant to be. She even told me years ago that she heard about me on the car radio. Sounds crazy huh? Well, here is how it happened: I hadn't been back in Little Rock very long (had just gotten discharged from the Air Force and at that particular time, I was cruizing down Main Street (where there just happened to be the main rock & roll radio station KAAY broadcasting from a remote and pushing the upcoming Razorback Football game. They always had these large posters that I ALWAYS put on each door and decklid of my car) and Brenda said she heard them (at the radio station) say that "Well, We have just seem a car that the guy came all the way from California, just to support the Razorbacks!" Well, that WAS me and I remember hearing them say that as well. BTW, I HAD just previously left Hamilton AFB in California upon being Honorably Discharged. I was out of the Air Force on Aug the 18th of 1970 and actually met Brenda in Sept (the 1st meeting) and again in
Oct (not sure of the actual date, but I know it was around the 3rd, which was her birthday) and that time (like I have said previously) I did everything except "Propose" (I did THAT not too long afterward). I was concerned that I was pushing things, but she accepted and I was the
HAPPIEST person you ever saw. I just knew that she was the one for me AND we've been married since Jan 8, 1971. AND, if I had it to do all over again, the story would be the same except, I would do my best to be a better husband to her. She would say that I already did more than enough but, she was just that way. I DID do my best, but I would STILL try to do better.
