Margaret (Babe) says
Stan was one of the most intelligent, most kind, most loving, and most considerate people I have known in my life time!
In our first meeting, he invited me to join him for dinner when we met waiting in restaurant line both waiting to be seated alone. I almost said ‘no’…..I am so very happy I said ‘yes’….after looking up into his eyes and getting a glimpse of who he was as a person (he was almost a foot taller than me), I had to say ‘yes’.
Throughout our first meeting, I noticed how very kind and considerate he was….this was clear in how he interacted with me, with restaurant staff, and in the stories he shared about his life. In subsequent meetings, his kindness and consideration kept shining through.
The next thing I noticed was, he made me laugh more than anyone else had ever made me laugh in my life.
Then, I noticed how very smart he was…..this is when I became attracted to him and started falling in love.
It took him longer…..I was a ‘lumpy white-haired old lady’ and he was still hoping for ‘young and firm’. He saw me as a “buddy”, a confidant, a companion.
Stan was a very private person…..and yet, he shared his ‘young and firm’ dating stories with me…..his most intimate lifetime stories with me…..he often said, ‘we are buddies’…..
I was happy with our relationship….I did not need more from him….he was a special person and we had a special soul connection….this was more than enough for me….our relationship was very special!
At some point he said, “apparently I now like ‘old and lumpy’ rather than ‘young and firm’.”…….we both laughed….I was not insulted…..I thought, ‘he just said he likes me’. 🙂
There are so very many special memories running through my mind and body. My close friends tell me I have moved from numbness into shock over losing him…..not sure I will ever move into acceptance over losing him.
Stan was the best and closest friend of my lifetime……we were both private people, but, we trusted each other and shared everything…..I cannot imagine ever finding this kind of unconditional love and friendship again. I am so very grateful for the time we had together!
Stan was smart, handsome, kind, considerate, funny, sexy……….despite all the pain and hurt in his life, he opened his heart and soul to me and let me in……….
I am so very grateful Stan is no longer in pain and no longer suffering!
I will be forever grateful for the time we were able to spend together……I do not know how to say goodbye……we were just beginning to learn how to truly love each other!
