Courting

So here is the next installment of Daddy's Love Letters.

Tell a courtship story about your parents. How they met, etc.

So it seems, from my talks with Mom about how they met and all of that good stuff, that my parents happened to meet at work. Mom was a cashier at Gibson's (a Wal-Mart type store that isn't really around anymore), and Dad was an assistant manager. They met and Dad asked her out on a date. They went on their first date, and Dad asked for a second date, two nights later due to the fact that he already had a date with someone else to go see Willie Nelson on the day in between (it seems that Dad had it going on).

It was on this second date, three days after meeting, that Pops told Mom that he was going to marry her. Mom said yes so it seems that it worked out for him. They then dated or courted for about three months and were married. This, although not ideal, seems to have worked for them, they have been married for 35 years as of this writing.

So that is the story (as far as what I know) of how my parents met and their courtship. It was truly a whirlwind type of thing and yet it seems to have worked for them. Peace and love y'all.
