66. Not For You
This honestly probably gets buried but I wanted to share anyway.
My parents first met when mom was freshly divorced and dad was getting divorced. Both are in bad places, and both are sassy as they all get out. Dad had an ‘86 Corvette that he adored, and one day he drove to my mother’s place of work for an interview.
He pulled up in his Corvette, in perfect view of the window where she was sitting. When he walked in, she looked at him and said “I don’t like your car.”
Dad’s response was “Well I didn’t buy it for you.”
They began dating shortly after and had a wonderful time together.
His proposal when his divorce was officially finalized was, “My divorce was finalized today. You have 24 hours to decide if you want to marry me.”
They’ve been married for over 35 years in January.
