The Meeting
And so it was a day like any other for some, but not for me.  I was walking my two and a half pound miniature pincher and she was walking her tiny miniature poodle mix.  They met nose to nose and became instant friends. Dogs have a sense of knowing if another dog is friendly, even from a distance.  So it was their owners became friends; she was an abandoned and then divorced lady and he was a lonely widower.  Their meeting was entirely unexpected.  It took only ten minutes to discover they were like-minded and warm hearted people; long enough to exchange phone numbers and email addresses.
The wonderful thing about their meeting was while waiting for the veterinarian’s office to open she decided to walk her dog in my gated apartment complex.  The gate is open during the day.  Tragically, four days after our meeting her little 20 year old poodle-mix died of congestive heart failure having done what God had arranged for her to do.
Because of the corona-virus our relationship became at arm’s length communicating only by phone and Gmail.  Nevertheless, and because of distance between us our exchange if information became open and frank.  No subject became off-limits. It wasn’t long before both confessed our love for each other.  Our months of daily emails seemed to read each other’s mind.  This love out of sight of one another grew stronger and became the centerpiece of our lives.  Both had prayed for a Godly person as a life’s companion and now it has come.  Surely this meeting was divinely arranged.
I am 6’3” and she is 5’8” and no one seeing us together would believe that she is 71 and I am 90.  She was born the year I graduated from high school.
