College sweethearts
1.
I smile at my two lovely daughters and they seem
so much more mature than we,
their parents,
when we were college sweethearts. Linda, who’s 21,
had a boyfriend in
her freshman year she
thought she would marry, but they’re not together
anymore.
Melissa, who’s 19, hasn’t had a
steady boyfriend yet. My daughters wonder when
they will meet “The One”, their great love.
They think their father and I had a classic
fairy-tale romance heading for marriage from
the outset. Perhaps, they’re right but it
didn’t seem so at the time. In a way, love
just happens when you least expect it. Who
would have thought that Butch and I would end
up getting married to each other? He
became my
boyfriend because of my shallow agenda: I wanted a
cute boyfriend!
2. We met through my college
roommate at the university cafeteria. That fateful
night,
I was merely curious, but for him I
think it was love at first sight. “You have
beautiful
eyes,” he said as he gazed at my
face. He kept staring at me all night long. I
really
wasn’t that interested for two reasons.
First, he looked like he was a really wild boy,
maybe even dangerous. Second, although he was
very cute, he seemed a little weird.
3. Riding
on his bicycle, he’d ride past my dorm as if “by
accident” and pretend to be
surprised to see
me. I liked the attention but was cautious about
his wild, dynamic
personality. He had a
charming way with words which would charm any
girl. Fear
came over me when I started to fall
in love. His exciting “bad boy image” was just too
tempting to resist. What was it that attracted
me? I always had an excellent reputation.
My
concentration was solely on my studies to get
superior grades. But for what?
College is
supposed to be a time of great learning and also
some fun. I had nearly
achieved a great
education, and graduation was just one semester
away. But I hadn’t
had any fun; my life was
stale with no component of fun! I needed a
boyfriend. Not
3
just any
boyfriend. He had to be cute. My goal that
semester became: Be ambitious
and grab the
cutest boyfriend I can find.
4. I worried what
he’d think of me. True, we lived in a time when a
dramatic shift in
sexual attitudes was taking
place, but I was a traditional girl who wasn’t
ready for the
new ways that seemed common on
campus. Butch looked superb! I was not immune
to his personality, but I was scared. The
night when he announced to the world that I
was his girlfriend, I went along with him. And
then I suddenly thought: “Oh my gosh!
Am I his
girlfriend? How did that happen?” Then he
whispered sweet words in my ear
and said, “I’m
going to marry you one day and I will be a lawyer.
You will see.”
5. I was laughing inside and
said to myself, “I’d never marry this guy. He’s a
rebel
without a good future. He’s my boyfriend
because I hate my boring student life. I just
want to have fun.”
6. Sure enough, the
following month, I found out he had failed all his
courses.
Consequently, he was going to be
expelled from the university. To my disgust, he
seemed resigned to his fate. I knew there was
hope, so I led him to the college
secretary
for reconsideration.
7. “You are going to
graduate with a BA in political science from UPenn
and proceed
to the College of Law,” I told
him, lodging an appeal on his behalf, which was
approved. Butch was granted reconsideration.
And, once we became steadies, he
coordinated
his studies and social life, passing all of his
classes. He eventually studied
law.
8.
Despite Butch’s somewhat wild character, at his
core, he is always a perfect
gentleman and
deserves a lot of credit for that. True, he’d
sometimes take the liberty
of displaying his
love by planting a kiss on my lips right in front
of my astonished
friends who watched and
disapproved. But the truth is we had a pure and
responsible
relationship for seven full years.
Sitting by the palm trees, hand in hand, we would
listen to romantic songs, watch the sunset,
and weave dreams of being together with
children of our own, forever.
9. Two years
passed in a blur. One day, Butch took me by
surprise as he knelt down
and proposed
marriage holding a dozen red roses! Filled with
deep emotion, I
confessed my love for him,
“How roooomaaaantic!!” Then my brain woke up from
fantasy land. I cried out, “Good heavens. No!
We’re too young to tie the knot. We
haven’t
even graduated from college yet!” I really loved
him but was pessimistic
about our chances for
success.
10. We married five years later.
11. Our faithful journey of love and learning
took us down rocky roads of hardship
and on
smooth easy-going highways. It is a long,
romantic, sometimes crazy, love
4
story that sums up a 29-year long
honeymoon together as a couple who are still madly
in love with each other. Our love commenced
with a casual attraction but bloomed
into a
mature love and rich life.
