I met K. in 1998,no belay that,I met K's sister in 1998,I met K. in 1999.K. and S. are identicle twins.I had never met people like these two before.How can I describe them,imagine meeting two Shiny bright rainbows that have exponentially more colors than a regular rainbow and these bright shiny rainbows that are more than rainbows are so pure and sweet and kind that after you have seen them ,your life is significantly transformed because you suddenly realize that there is , purity, honesty,truth and child like natural wonderment in the world.
K. has married her long time on and off boy friend of the last 13 years.His name is Captain Awesome.
K. and Captain Awesome are perfect for each other.
Captain Awesome is Devastatingly handsome and sweet as sweet kosher wine,Passover wine.
Captain Awesome commands respect,he does not demand respect,he is a Captain in the marines,that in itself is impressive enough,just the physical and emotional demands are tremendous.Captain Awesome burns in his heart for the well being of young people.And has dedicated his life towards their betterment.
Captain Awesome is quiet,almost silent in his stoicism.This is because he is deeply thoughtful.
People may think he is not intelligent.The fact is you will rarely hear Captain Awesome speak unless he has something poignant to say,he does not just slap his gums hither dither to break uncomfortable silences.Captain Awesome is a true brave hero man.If my life were in danger I would hope the Captain is near by.
It is interesting that most of my friends are half my age.Knowing me,you would imagine that,that is the case because of how hip,smooth and cool I am.In this particular instance that is not the case.
In 1997 I became a single parent to two amazing kids whom as it happens are complete opposites,in any case when I became a single parent I had to completely switch gears as far as my work situation was concerned.I was determined not to farm my kids out to babysitters so as God always does,he provided the perfect answer for an impossible situation and gave me a job in a summer camp wherin most everyone is in their teens and early twenties,it is there where I met K.,her sister S. and Captain Awesome,when I was forty five years old and my new life began.
