    About this ebook

    In our fast-paced world, we have a tendency to move on to the “next big thing” in our lives before we are even able to digest the “last big thing.” As a result, life becomes a massive blur of events that seems to pass us by. As we get older and our lives become about the present with only the past to contemplate and not much of a future left, it is natural to begin thinking about what the most significant moment in our lives was. Now that my wife is gone that is exactly what I found myself thinking about. What was our most significant moment? I was surprised what I concluded. You may be too.

      OUR MOMENT – FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN

      My wife Phyliss and I met in the eighth grade. No, we were not classmates. She was my teacher and I her student. Our entire history is told in the book I Married My Teacher and a number of short stories such as this one. It is an interesting tale and worth the time to read it.

      After fifty-six years, I wondered what moment was most dear to me during our love affair. We had so many wonderful moments, it was a difficult task. When I identified the moment, I could not imagine why it had taken so long to find. I guessed it was because it was such a simple moment that most of us, including me, never even notice it. We seem to have been indoctrinated into thinking Our Moment needs to be monumental.

      This important moment could be anything, and it, most likely, would be totally different for almost every couple. The thought conjures up visions of significantly important milestones in their lives.

      The milestones could be possibly the moment they met, the day he (or she) proposed, the birth of their first child, their wedding day, possibly their honeymoon.

      But maybe I am being too traditional in my list of possibilities. Maybe, I need to think more with the modern values of what is significant today.

      In today’s environment of frivolity and superficial relations, the special moment might be the first time they had sex, went to a rock concert, went on a safari, went bungee jumping, snorted their first cocaine, bought their first Ferrari or more likely, stole their first Ferrari, or robbed their first bank together. I am just partially joking.

      Who knows what insanity is out there? My God, some lucky woman just married
