I lost my partner of 16 years about 2 years ago (sudden heart attack at 48), and I still miss him terribly at times. I have just turned 40, and I know there is still a lot of life ahead of me, but sometimes finding someone good is just SO hard!
His name was Bill. He was 10 years my senior. It was 1989, I was 21, and I had just come to the States to work in a national park, and that is where we met. I really had no interest in meeting someone and falling in love at that time. He was a big burly man who loved musical theatre, road a motorcycle, and pursued me. I think I eventually fell for him one afternoon as I hugged him for dear life while riding a half-mile on the back of his motorcycle. We went back to his cabin, and he was a perfect gentleman to me. I spent the summer by his side, and decided to take a chance on love and followed him to California at summer's end. He supported me as I pursued my passion, photography. We had 16 wonderful years together. I miss him so.
