69. On A Story Postcard 10-17-10 (NAOS Weekend)

ABOUT JHF
I met him in the fall of 1981 at a coffee shop where he was on a date with the friend of a friend and I stopped to say hello.  He was wearing a plaid shirt + a denim jacket.  He had lots of dark hair and a mustache that looked as if it either had trouble growing or perhaps he had forgotten to shave. He looked like a young Bruce Springsteen.  I wonder what I would have thought then if I had flashed forward 3 years to see us dating, or 7 years to see us married, or 15 years to see our 3 sons, or even that moment I no longer remember when he became the breath within me.
