POSIE
I was never his best friend.
Never a girlfriend.
We were strangers turned pen pals.
Through those letters, we each grew more complicated feelings, especially since he never actually came home to see me in person.
I managed that, right up until a very special person in both of our lives brought us back together in an unexpected way.MAX
Pops used to give me what he called "woman advice".
When I was younger, I blew it all off, thinking I knew everything there was to know about the opposite sex.
Failed relationship after failed relationship proved I should have listened to the old coot before it was too late.
It wasn’t until I came back to my hometown at thirty-three that I realized the most important thing he tried to convey to me. The love of a good woman – the perfect woman for me – had been in my grasp all that time, only I’d failed to see her for what she was until it was too late.
I was finally coming home, and she was free once more.
Both of us were a little worse for the wear, but Pops’ lessons had finally sunk in and I wouldn’t stop trying until I finally made her mine.
