I do believe we are watching my niece, who lives with us, fall in love with a young soldier who appears to be as smitten as she is. After he braved the throngs of her family at Thanksgiving, she traveled with him to South Carolina to attend the Marine Corps ball as his date this past weekend. He was a gentleman, she said, making sure she was cared for throughout, even as his fellow marines partied wildly in the post-ball part of the festivities. He introduced her to everyone as his girlfriend, leaving no doubt. She sent us pictures. His uniform made us all weak-kneed. I won't post any of those crystal clear images, because I don't know what's okay for this military man. I'll let this blurred screenshot from my niece's Insta story suggest the mood. Witnessing new love happen is the sweetest thing.
It IS the sweetest thing. I wish them all good things as they enjoy this incredibly shining time of their lives.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary. I wish it for them too.
Deleteyes it is and she is lucky her family is just as smitten with him as she is.
ReplyDeleteellen, so far so good, and we'll be so as long as he continues to treat our beloved girl well. new love is grand but long time love is where the real treasure lies. i confess i wish that for all my young people. may they be with kind, good humored loves.
DeleteThat is wonderful! May this be just the beginning of a long, happy relationship.
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely. You made me smile at the end of a long day of work.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwwww. I hope they'll be so very happy for a very long time. Your niece is just cuter than a bug.
ReplyDeleteMay their joy in being there for each other be sustained always. Thank you for letting us be witnesses, too.
ReplyDeleteOne of my best friends granddaughter attended the Marine Corp ball as the date of her best friend and I think that there is some chemistry going on there just a couple of months ago. They live up in Boston Mass so it was somewhere on the East Coast.
ReplyDeleteI wish your niece so many hugs and Blessings. I think that Love is just the most beautiful thing in our Universe and on our Planet. Your niece is so beautiful. I can tell from the photo that she is smitten herself! Love makes me weak in the knees and I wish her and her beau many years of happiness. xx
I'm happy for all involved!
ReplyDeleteAh the beginnings of new love. Such a sweet time.
ReplyDeleteYou are watching the beginning of a love story. Kind good humored loves are my wish for my sons too.
