The Gift: Part 2

This is part two of, a three part post, of the people who in some way touched my life. Who in retrospect left me a part of themselves, in their own way to me. I call it a gift. This is also a tribute to them as well.
Through the experience of life's gains and losses we have learned to become what we are. Strengthening our weaknesses, or weakening our strengths. Sometimes through the loss of a loved one, in hindsight, we learn about ourselves and of others. Things that may of always been there, but we never saw. Or things newly discovered. This discovery, can be a gift. A gift to life itself.

I met Larry in 1988, at a BBQ, with my date. Larry, being the flirt that he was, just did it to me. I was "in like". So days later, we got together and hit it off superbly. We dined, I cooked, he courted me. He basically swept me off my feet. It seemed to be an OK match. Not totally my type, but for some strange reason, I stuck with him.
