We dated in 8th grade, he gave me a cross necklace and a ring. We always danced together in school. I still have these items plus a love note. Then high school came and we went our separate ways. Dating alittle thru out high school. Both of us graduated, I went to college and he went on to work. A year and half later I quit school and came home. All our friends would tell us what each was doing in our lives. One day I was baby sitting my parents home, and he called. Together again for eve
