Sometimes you know a person…just an acquaintance…a friend of a friend. You go through life, and the person is like NEVER on your mind. Then comes a day when you get a friend request on Facebook from someone that you really can’t remember at all. He hopes you remember him, but you just can’t…not for the life of you can you remember this guy. He reminds you of who he was, and how you knew one another…ohhhhh, it’s you. Now she remembers him. Older guy, dated a friend of mine, back then anyway. But what the heck, why not talk via Facebook for a while. She is sweet, out going, wouldn’t hurt someone’s feelings for anything in this world…so they talk, they laugh. Wow…he’s polite, he’s mature and she finds she likes talking to him.
Fast forward a couple of weeks, let’s meet for lunch in our home town. Who would have ever known. That lunch began a lifetime together. The beginning of their forever as man and wife. Sabrina and Chris, exclusive from then on. She had said she would never date and definitely never marry anyone from her home town, but she didn’t know he was there, just waiting for her to come along. Two weeks after that first date he KNEW she was the one. A ring was purchased, he waited for the perfect moment. Christmas time…in front of their first tree, the twinkling Christmas tree lights were the only lights on, relaxing, happy from decorating that first tree together. He knelt…he asked…she was shocked…she said yes…and another memory is made.
Chris..what a guy. Now I have to take a minute to explain…Chris is a Kennedy. Sabrina is my most beautiful niece. I often wished she were my daughter. I married a Kennedy and let me say, he is the MOST WONDERFUL Kennedy man alive. From my understanding, there is a possibility that Sabrina is challenging that claim. 
She fully believes she has married the MOST WONDERFUL Kennedy man alive. My husband says it is the ‘Kennedy Charm’ and he may be right. I, being much older than my niece, also KNEW I would never marry someone from my home town, and certainly not the man I knew from the past…we were both wrong. Sabrina did the same thing I did. She fell head over hills in love with one of the most wonderful, kind, giving, loving, caring, committed, honest men in the world. As far as I know there are only two of them that exist (there may be more, I just don’t know them). They are both Kennedy’s, they are both adored and honored by their wives, and well, they bless us with their love on a daily basis.
Sabrina & Chris…here is wishing you both the blessings and love that you so deserve. I pray that your days together will be as fulfilling for you as the days together have been for Johnny & I. I love you both very much.
