And now... a word from your Sponsor...
I was really only a teenager for about three years,
since I got married at the age of sixteen.
But whenever I hear the song that's playing on this Page, 'My Cherie Amour' by Stevie Wonder,
it transports me back into time. I'm suddenly 14 years old again.
It's summer and I'm filled with excitement, wonder and questions about
how my life will turn out.
Actually, I still have those same questions. I never really got a definitive answer.
It's now the end of yet another summer. Most of it was wonderful.
When I'm old (in about six more months),
I'll have to remember this summer as the one that changed my life.
I fell in love... for the first time, and, hopefully, the only time.
My daughter, Tina, is going to be married in Las Vegas on September 30th.
Although I don't think they have known each other long enough to make such a decision,
I would have loved to be there to see her walk down the aisle.
I can't imagine where she gets her impulsive ideas from.
She will make a beautiful bride.
I discovered that I'm going to be a grandmother in April 2002.
I'm hoping to be a much better grandmom than I was a mother.
I'm ready for it this time.
The plans for my son Joe's Wedding seem to be progressing nicely.
He and Bonnie will be married on June 22, 2002.
So this was the summer of new beginnings for me.
2002 is going to be one heck of a year.
I can hardly wait.
I remember thinking that same thought when I was fourteen years old.
Uh-oh.

Coming Attractions...
I have been waiting all summer to meet Kevin's 9 year old son.
He was visiting his mother the past few months,
but he lives with Kevin during the school year.
From what Kevin tells me about him... he's a great kid.
I'm sure I'd love him even he wasn't... just because he's Kevin's son.
But I do worry whether he'll like me.
My kids seem to like me, but they are kind of prejudiced.
I never really met a child that didn't like me...
but you never know.
Winning the heart of a little boy is a lot harder than winning the heart of a man.
I'm going to give it my best effort though.
It will be great to be around kids again, especially with the holidays coming.
Kids give you an excuse to act like a child again.
Hopefully, if Kevin's son likes me,
I'll get to meet the rest of his family.
I have the feeling that my entire future could hinge on what happens
over the next couple of weeks.
But I figure, if everything I've done during my life has led me to this point,
and since Kevin can't even remember how he found my Site in the first place,
there must be some reason for this madness.
I'd like to think that my Dad and Kevin's Mother happened to meet one day
up there in heaven, and got to talking about their kids...
It could happen, you know!
(Thank you, Daddy!)

The... Plan
I figured that since Kevin's son is only 9 years old,
and he has had his father mostly to himself since he was only 3 years old,
I better put a lot more than just effort into this meeting.
I need... magic!
My hospital is having their Annual Picnic tomorrow at an Amusement/Water park.
So I invited Kevin and his son to go along with me,
and that's when I will meet his son for the first time.
Hopefully... he will have a blast,
and think that I am a lot of fun.
So far, all Kevin has told him about me is that I am... a 'friend.'
He's been so busy getting his son ready for school I haven't seen him for two whole weeks.
It will be hard to keep my hands off of Kevin and act like a... friend.
The only thing that will help me, is knowing that Kevin's son probably
won't like me very much if I'm all over his father.
And if Kevin's son doesn't like me...
I may not ever get a chance to be all over him again!
My mother is going to light a candle for me in Church tomorrow.
I hope it's a big one.
I have a feeling I'm going to need all the Divine Intervention I can get!
