I don't have very many memories of meeting the important people in my life. My parents, my sisters, my friends -- either too much time has past or I didn't realize the significance of the moment while it was passing.
However, there is one meeting that is so deeply etched in my mind that I can replay it in my mind as if it just occurred last night. It was ten years ago.
I was sitting on Heather's bed talking to Megan trying to convince her to join us for a night out at Stargate.
I heard him walking up the stairs and before I even saw him, I was telling Megan that "Hot Dave" was here and that she should definitely come over.
He walked into the room. He was wearing a Northwest Airlines t-shirt, a black leather jacket, and a Corona hat.
I doubted him, but he was right. Even though his hands are bigger than mine, the lifelines etched on each of our hands match.
Somewhere, deep in my subconscious, I knew that this was a moment to remember. This man was my soul mate. Within the next ten years, he would become my best friend, the father of my children, husband, life partner.
