That’s a great story. It’s funny how things like that stay with us. I wonder how he remembers you?

Beautiful! Though I never got attention from lifeguards growing up, I got a little vicarious thrill of returning to those old summer days through this post. Thank you.

What a great story! I’m guessing most people have something similar, I know I do – except without the zinc oxide and stuff.

I still think about mine, too, at least once a week. Sometimes more, and I am VERY happily married.

Great post.

This is beautiful – almost brought me to tears. I’m such a sucker for a lost love story!

Love it. I was just sure you were going to say you ended up marrying him, though.
