That first meeting, especially an online meetup, is so awkward, but I experienced this utter surprise, and delight, meeting one such man many years ago. I was smitten. He died two months later, an aortic aneurysm, and it crushed me until I met Jeff. Sometimes, it really can happen. Beautiful story.
Oh, Janelle. That is so sad!! No wonder poetry and stories pour out of you. You have experienced so much!!!
