love makes things happen

"Love appears at the worst..."

Rondell met Alexis when he was 42 years old. They literally ran into each other in a bookstore. He fell in love with her before he even looked at her face. The books she had were some of his favorites. He looked up with intrigue and found himself staring into an exquisite face.

They sat and talked for an hour. They exchanged emails and soon were chatting on the internet daily. His conversations with Alexis became the thing he looked forward to each day. At 42, Rondell finally understood what a soulmate was.

"...and even the best of times."

Rondell met Jeanie when he was 24 years old. She was beautiful, smart, quirky, and ambitious. They dated for two years and everything seemed so ideal. They had the similar dreams of the future. They both wanted so many of the same things. Jeanie got along great with his family. He truly cared for and loved her. So they got married, bought a house, had a family, and settled down for a long life together.

That is, until Rondell was 42...
