He used my story for inspiration.

He since divorced and now engaged and very very happy he was in the dark zone and needed guidance. He found my story quite out of the usual and used it to find his way.

That all things are possible, this is why I post it.

Bob,
Thank you for the email, to answer your question read the following.
What is the day of the rebirth?
The day in which the man was reborn.
The day in which 2 cultures and era’s intermingled.
The day in which rules of society was disregarded.
The day god sent an angel to save another.

It’s a hot day in the Bronx the usual morning noisy and the usual hue of summer is in the air. Its August 19, 1980 summer is now in full gear. A walk to the bodega would be the usual buttered roll coffee light and sweet. As I was walking to the station, do not go this girl was going to stand me up. A voice inside go now go with haste and with nothing to do “WTH”. So with this thought took the local “A” subway back to a land very unlike where his entry was.

The “A” subway is a classic one, going from the slums of the Bronx, thru Harlem into midtown Manhattan, Brooklyn and finally into the outer reaches of NYC the Rockaway’s. The causeway bridge was the marker between 2 differing worlds back in the past. Once you passed this milestone you were there.

The ride uneventful hot and sticky this was the pre AC days of the transit system. When the subway exited the tunnel the usual sigh of relief and walk to the front car to watch the scenery which every rider always enjoyed. Then it was heard by the dutiful conductor “36” street” and release of compressed air from brakes.

As I exited the car, the final thought she is not going to be there. The air still, the honeysuckle scent thick as I descended the stairway. There she was looking up all in the finery of the day jeans, sneakers and so simply divine. It is said the sense of smell is stronger than eyesight well this is true after 30 yrs still remember it. There was one word exchanged for what seemed an eternity “hi” was it. The next would cement the destiny “would you like to walk to the beach”.

Miracle Song: The song of the first glance the first look the first yes. The beginning of the rebirth, yes later that day would learn she indeed the “daughter of the ocean”. The band ELO was to pen this day in song so perfectly. So watch it and sooth the soul in the melody and words.

Midnight on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walkin' through the burnin' rain
Hopin' just to know her name

The weeks would be day after day commuting to FR after work, would be there at 5pm our meeting place the subway station. I would learn about seagulls, beach, another life, clothing, living and realizing an angel was given to me.

The Magic: Each day going home wondered about what was going on. Why this beauty of a teen and of the sea would picked me from the ghetto in the Bronx. There was certainly HS jocks, plenty of suitors in lieu of her cheerleader status. Then it dawned on me, there was magic as work as this was not a man made destiny.

Come take my hand, you should know me, I've always been in your mind
You know I will be kind, I'll be guiding you
Building your dream has to start now, there's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake, I'll be guiding you

The seduction: Well its getting dark at 5pm, the cool winds of fall is at hand the days are growing shorter. The boardwalk is closed the tourist gone like today in late September. Well, the question came in a pizzeria, will you marry me. There was not a nano second of hesitation “yes”. The usual interrogation of parents and grandparents it was a “yes”. The trip to midtown Manhattan for the ring, the planning the crazy plans a short courtship as Christmas was wedding day and as the father exclaimed a most “blessed day”.

Speaker up for this one.

In this life I've seen everything I can see woman,
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun,
And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men crying at their own grave site
And I've seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides
But I never seen nothing like you.

Well the rest is the history for myself; a friend gave us this distinction after hearing the story. My god you guys are “something else like a throwback to the past” you rock.

So sit back pour a strong one and know there is love after betrayal.

Bob now open your heart to god and destiny. Please go seek happiness for it is god’s will that each live to full potential you have given reconciliation 5 yrs of your best effort.

Now time to move on.
