After 28years, my wife is still the one who owns my heart, because of one single, powerful moment when I realized our love began.
After several dates, we knew our feelings ran deep. What Mary       I had enough to give. And what was missing in my life, she had plenty to      . One evening she called      . She wanted to come over and see me. I was       because our dates were usually planned. She asked for       to my place, but instead of replying, I asked where she was. She was using a payphone outside our favorite      .
With more persistence(坚持),she       again. I offered the name of the main street－but with no further detail. Sensing the awkwardness of the moment, she       the call. Fear settled over me. I was       of two things; (1) I had made her angry; (2) she would try to find out where I lived.
I raced to my car and drove to the place I thought Mary had called from. Maybe she was having dinner or waiting to see if I would       . When I arrived, she wasn’t there. There were no cellphones in 1984, so my best       was to drive back and call her. She wasn’t at home. Panic had now      the fear. I walked outside to see if Mary was trying to find me.
She found me       quickly replaced panic. When she saw me and the apartment building where I lived with my parents, I knew she       why I didn’t want her to come.
Mary had a(n)       house. She came from affluence (富裕) and I came from a two-bedroom apartment. I thought if she discovered my secret it would end the      .
She rushed toward me with the kindest smile I had ever seen. Without any          , she told me what       was that she loved me, not where I lived, She       we could share a life together, and if that happened, our home would always be a beautiful place to live.
At that moment, love arrived and my heart       her forever. Holding onto this memory is a good reminder on the days when we forget about love’s beautiful grace.
