Let me catch you up a little......

Let's see....guess i will start from the beginning....i promise i'll make this as short and sweet as possible
and pain free *loads a shot of morphine*.
I met her when she got stationed in my unit overseas....was mostly a work related thing at first....i worked in Quality/Inventory/Stock Control....she worked down range in the dirt and mud....2nd Largest Munitions Depot in all of Europe (some 260 bunkers worth)...and considered the largest threat to Russia (who monitored us 24/7 via satellite)....located just outside the 1k Zone of East Berlin/Russia.


A little time had past and i'd some contact with her....one Friday/Saturday night(not sure) i had worked late,
and upon arriving back at the barracks had realized i had missed the mess hall.....by some 3-4 hours....and my neighbors,weren't able to deliver anything as they usually did for me.....So i decided to go to the EM Club and get one of those ever so high class cheeseburgers with a tequila sunrise ....or 3....(had been a very rough week)
On my way out i heard a noise....looked and saw someone watching tv in the tv room....other then that...was dead silence in the building....and it was her...sitting by herself.....
So off i went....starving....made it to the stairwell ....and my "good guy" heart kicked in....i saw this image of a lonely woman sitting by herself on a weekend evening....and well...i felt bad.....i see being alone as a curse....and one i wouldn't wish on anyone...always felt that way because i'd been there on a few occasions.
So i walked back...said "Hi"...introduced myself...(found out later she knew who i was quite well already lol)
and i told her i had seen her all by herself....and asked if she'd like to accompany me to the EM Club for my dinner "special"...after a laugh ...she said "Sure...sounds good".....a year later we were married.


Ah the good ole days.....
