STANDING BY THE DOOR THE MAN WAITS FOR THE MAIL TO ARRIVE. BILLS AND MORE BILLS IS WHAT THE MAN GOT AND A RETURNED LETTER FROM A PEN-PAL. ON THE ENVELOPE WAS A SMALL NOTE READING “ TELL ME WHEN I GET THERE.” THE MAN WAS CURIOUS BUT SAD.HE HAD NO UNDERSTANDING OF THE SMALL MESSAGE. DAYS LATER THE MAN STOOD BY THE DOOR AS USUAL. HE DID NOT SEE THE MAIL CARRIER. THE CLOCK TICKED ON THE MAN GREW TIRED AND WALKED TO HIS BED. THE TELEPHONE IS RINGING BUT THE MAN WAS TO DEPRESSED TO ANSWER IT. MINUTES LATER THE PHONE RINGS AGAIN. STILL THE MAN REFUSED TO ANSWER IT. LATER THAT NIGHT AS THE MAN READIED HIMSELF FOR BED THERE WAS SOMETHING HOLDING HIM BACK. THE MAN WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE A VEHICLE SLOWING UP BY HIS DRIVEWAY. WITH A HEART RACING LIKE A HORSE, THE MAN STOOD AND WATCHED A LOVELY WOMAN STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. SHE WAS THE MANS PEN-PAL. THE MAN WAS SO HAPPY THAT HE CRIED AS HE WALKED TO HER. AFTER A GREAT BIG HUG THE MAN AND HIS LADY WENT INTO THE HOUSE AND HAD COFFEE TOGETHER AS THEY TALKED ABOUT LIFE. AFTER A FEW WEEKS THE TWO WERE MARRIED AND STARTED A FAMILY. TO THE MAN, TEN YEARS WAS ENOUGH TIME TO WRITE. May the winds sweep through the moonless sky.... |

Ten years as penpals? Talk about a long long-distance romance! |
