Today is the third anniversary of the day my life changed. I met the lady I love for the first time in 5 yrs. This time three years ago, I was sat in Atlanta airport waiting for the plane to take me the final 2 hours to Orlando. I was feeling tired after a 9.5 hour flight, but at the same time, exhilerated at the thought of seeing her for the first time. Would we get on together? would she be waiting for me? Where will she be waiting?
I bought a large coffee to try and stem the advancing sleepiness of the 18 hour day I was in. I wasn't used to US coffee and in 20 mins I was buzzing!
The flight to Orlando seemed to drag by and as we came into land around 6.30 EST the lights from below looked very inviting and I wondered if she was in one of the cars I could see crawling along the MASSIVE roads you have there.
The plane landed and i followed the crowd to the terminal and looked for her, She wasn't there so maybe she was near baggage collection. I followed a pair of stewardesses to the baggage pick up, all the time looking around me for my first sight of her. Still no one seemed to look like the photos i had seen of her. Had I been stood up? no, she wouldn't do that, but where was she?
I looked for my case on the carousel and saw it coming so when it got to me I grabbed it and checked it then turned around looking for her again. It was then I saw her beautiful brown eyes and she was smiling at me with the prettiest smile i had ever seen. I know i am biased, especially now but this is how i remember her.
I smiled back and walked over to her, we hugged, said our hello's and I took her hand and we walked to her car. All the time we were walking she was hugging me and looking at me, I don't think she could believe that I was really there, by her side, touching her, holding her hand and talking to her. It was like a dream.
We drove out of the airport and she was still holding my hand, like if she left go, I'd dissappear. It was that important, the trip to the hotel seemed to go by so quickly, just like my whole time there, and every time i go back too......
I can't wait to see her again, thats why today is so special to me, to us. The day, 27th October 2006, the day that changed my life. :o)
