One Of The of the Most Important Memories

Can you still remember the first time you fall in love with someone? Actually most of the people would be able to remember it because it’s an important memory in our lives. Even if it was something or someone that hurt you it’s still in your head. There are good and bad times during life that will make you the person that you are meant to be some day. I remember it like it was yesterday when I fall in love for the first time, the first time I saw him, our first date, and the day our lives changed forever. This stage was really important because it made a huge impact in my life and decisions.

I was in church on a Sunday morning; it seemed like a normal day like every other Sunday. There was a meal at church, and I was with my aunt and friends eating cake when one of my friends took me to meet this new guy. His name is Leo and at that time he was 15 years old. He looked really quiet and nice, but at the same time he was fun. At first, it was like one more friend and that was all, but as the days passed I started thinking about him, his behavior and character which made him unique. I’m extremely meticulous when it comes to choosing someone that I really like; this time was different because he had everything I wanted. My friends used to tell me that I should look for someone else but I always get what I want, I guess that’s the way I was and still am. Suddenly, one day he called me and we started taking for several days and started to know more about each other.

After two weeks, he invited me to go eat, and I said yes. I was really nervous and scared, but at the same time I was happy and excited. It was a sunny day with some light winds, we were supposed to meet at noon and he was coming to my house to pick me up. At 11 I was ready, I called my best friend and told her how nervous I was but she made me laugh and calm me down. My cell phone rang and I looked through the window, there he was outside of my house really cute and quiet. Then when he saw me at first he smiled and we went to eat fruit salads, I remember his eyes staring at me at all times, we laughed and talked about everything, the things we liked, food, entertainment and what we expect from other people. Every second I spend spent with him was amazing and I guess I just started to like him even more and he liked me too. After sometime we became boyfriend and girlfriend that day was perfect. Even though at that age I didn’t know lots about love there was a weird feeling but at the same time nice that made me think about him every day, every minute and he was in my dreams too. Until now I haven’t felt the same for no one.

Finally (Next), 2 years later as you’ll know thing aren’t always perfect we started to discuss a lot and more often but still we were always together. On September, 18^th we found out that we were going to be parents. I started crying because I was scared but he just hugged me really tight and warm, I felt protected like a little girl when dad takes care of her. Our lives changed 180⁰ I wanted to disappeared and run away but that would’ve not been me. He changed so much and started taking care of me and the baby, every single time he looked at me he smiled and said: “I love you, and I’ll always be here.” This event made us realize our love was stronger than anything, until today his words are still in my mind. We were young for what was happening but we made it together through different obstacles that life made us go by. Only destiny will know what will happen in the future but until now our love is strong and even more with our daughter by our side.

Finally, the only thing I know is that love cannot be too young or too old, things happen for a reason and every move we make define our personality and behavior including your future. For some people it is difficult to believe in love but there will always be someone right for us, sooner or later we’ll find happiness. Our memories are a really important part of us, even if it is something that hurt us or made us happy reminding us what our mission in this planet is. Ups and downs are what life is about, the only thing that will remain live in us are the important events that we have gone through. A person that doesn’t know what love is means; is not complete at all; after all, not everything in life is free, we have to suffer and learn from mistakes too.
