Today was my mom's birthday. We went to dinner at the Golden Corral and did what we usually do when we go there: eat until we felt sick.
I love talking to strangers, and the stranger I talked to today was Mary, our waitress, who was 64-years-old. She told me that she got a hit on a dating site from a man and they have been talking for years. They are going to get married when he comes home from Iraq. He has two kids, and she can't wait to be a mom. They have never seen each other in person though.
Oh, but the romance of it all. They text all day, and when time permits, he calls her for a brief 30 second call with bad reception were he professes his love until the call drops.
She was the sweetest lady! She said when he gets home she won't have to work anymore, and they will live happily ever after. She just wants him home!
I pray for her sake that this guy is real and not some loser sending her text from three miles away. Whether he is real or not, the story was so romantic and she had that girl glow you get when a guy likes you. Ah Catfishing, the opportunities for love it has created.
