.I'd sent her a lock of my hair, which at the time was a healthy blonde, and when she opened the card she
screamed,"ahhh...you sent me your hair?!" She liked it. I put red ink on my lips and kissed every letter I wrote to
her (I was too proud to buy lipstick). I was soooo smitten--it's almost embarrassing now. Actually, yes, it is quite embarrassing. I didn't want to make expectations on our visit and
besides, I didn't want to mess up a beautiful thing by moving too fast. I'm a bit
old fashioned. I skirted issues and told her I loved her too much to
spoil a potentially beautiful relationship by rushing into things. I told
her I was worth waiting for. It's hard to know what is really going on from 7000 miles away. I'm sure she was thinking the same thing when I sent her this picture of me in my Halloween garb. I can just see her, staring into Christopher Plummer's eyes and longingly saying,"Somewhere in Korea there is a gentleman who will never be a nun". That's my take on it.
