Yesterday Marion and I had a very nice and enjoyable evening. We had planned to go out for dinner, but our moods were in the evening not really after it. So we stayed home and ordered some food online. We both had a mixed grill and I really must say that we really liked it. But is was ordered at a “Brasserie”, so you may expect some quality (for which you pay as well… but it was more then worth it).
Together we watched the movie “Sahara”, a adventure movie with lots of humour in it. I had already seen it before, but for Marion it was the first and she really had to laugh at times. The movie is from 2005 and is about an explorer who is seeking out a lost Civil War battleship known as the “Ship of Death”.
Some wine and beer, some home-made snacks. It was very, very nice.
After the movie Marion and I talked a bit and somehow the conversation turned to the beginning of out relation… how we met and the chain of events that made us grow together.
That Christmas of that year was of course a milestone in this all. I had promised my mother to spend Christmas with her, but she was just before Christmas all of a sudden taken into a hospital and I stayed alone at my mothers house. Somehow Marion heard about that and she invited me to spend Christmas Eve with her and some of her best friends. As said, that evening was an important moment…. and thinking back I know now that after that Christmas I just had to fall in love with Marion. It was the logical next step in the chain of events…. and it did happen.
Looking over my shoulder I can see Marion still asleep behind me. What a positive swing she gave to my life….
Talking about “had to fall of love”, that makes me think of a very nice song of the Moody Blues that might be very appropriate….
(Moody Blues)
What mattered to me
Was the right to be free
Like I’ll be someday
I’m waiting for my heart to lead the way
The places I’ve seen
And the road in between
Make me wonder why
I’m searching for my dreams up in the sky
I heard the call
And in the mirror
I saw the writing on the wall
And I had to fall
In love with you
The face that I’ve known
Seems so lost and alone
When you’re far away
I’m comin’ for you baby right away
The places I’ve seen
And the roads in between
Make me wonder why
I’m searching for me dreams up in the sky
I heard the call
And in the mirror
I saw the writing on the wall
And I had to fall
In love with you
What mattered to me
Was the right to be free
Like I’ll be someday
I’m waiting for my heart to lead the way
Somehow I must have missed this article. The song of the Moody Blues is awesome.
It was nice to talk about how we got together. So many things that happened in such a short time. A small miracle!
