Love finds its way, whether by choice, chance, or perhaps a little nurturing from others. A friend of the family recommended a blind date between Agnes and a fine young man - who, as it turned out, shares the same birthday (Sept 20th). This man's friend mentioned, "This must be a sign!", but he replied "Yes it's a sign. We're both Virgo! We're not supposed to be compatible!" This young man was Don.
When Don first met Agnes at her aunt's home in Houston (after about one year of phone dating), a little voice told him, "There's your wife!". Later that evening when Agnes was praying before she went to bed, she had some doubts about Don and asked herself "Is he right for me?" A gentle voice replied "If you don't marry him, you'll never be happy". Before returning to Los Angeles, Don gave her a small gold crucifix on a chain (my grandmother had given it to me when I was a young boy). It was only much later that she realized that her childhood prayer had been answered. As a young girl, she asked God to give her this sign: that the man she would marry would give her a cross on a chain.
Don and Agnes caught up to destiny : )
