I told the cheerleader next to me that I was going to marry that guy someday.

I was a 9th-grade cheerleader at a basketball game. I saw the homecoming Queen walk in with this dark-haired guy. I told the cheerleader next to me that I was going to marry that guy someday.

Four years later I agreed to go on a blind date with a coworker’s brother. It was him. We got married a year later. I was 18. That was 53 years ago.

Who knew…?

I did.

I didn’t want to date him because he was my age.
