Once there was a boy named Ben who met one of his sister's college classmates at a party. He asked his sister to introduce him to the girl. Her name is Norma. He lived in the country side and she lived in the city. Every week he would make a 2-3 hour trip by bus to wait outside Centro Escolar University's gate to see her. Many times, the girl would know that the boy would be waiting at the gate through a spy and she would exit the back gate. Sadly, the boy would make the 2-3 hour bus ride back home without seeing her. After many, many of these meeting attempts, she finally agreed to go out with the boy who turned out to be a very cool dude. They eventally said "I Do". That was forty four years ago in 1965. Ten years later, my mommy was born. That's her in the picture during her baptism in 1975.
Here are they on their 40th wedding anniversary at The Church of Santa Susanna in Rome, Italy.
