Thanks TY.

Sometimes being with old friends and talking about the past helps me remember a memory in a positive light and reflect on what I was going through at that time.  I was talking with a dear friend and was reminded of my senior winter formal date, who was also my senior prom date, TY.

I asked TY to both dances.  Yeah, I really did.  I remember being scared, but I didn't think too much about it because if I had, I would've never gone through with it.  I recall being so shocked each time he agreed to go with me.  As I was telling my friend, TY was one of the "cuter" boys at school and if he had a girlfriend, she sure wasn't going to our school.  So, I thought to myself, why not?  Never mind the fact that he and I hardly ever interacted, he was a complete stranger to me, and we were totally different in many ways.

I won't go on and on about TY and my dates with him.  In my memory, I will always remember him as a perfect gentleman who gave to me some of the most beautiful corsages that I've ever gotten in my life.  I thank him, as brief as our time was, for helping make a girl feel beautiful and less of an ugly duckling.
