29 years ago today I met Henry. I had just moved to the Miami area and the lady next store in my apartment building asked me to be her "date" at a Hartmann dinner. I went to the dinner, and in walked this handsome man on the arm of a not so handsome woman. I announced to the Plantation Bentley's store--"I want him for Christmas with a big, red bow!" An introduction was made...all he said was "I am sick, who are you?."
Well, the team at Bentley's went to work, and he called that next week. We went on a look see date at an IHOP where (hey big spender) he bought me a diet coke and talked about his wonderful children for 2 hours.
One and a half weeks later I arrived home from having my nails done and all of his stuff was in front of my door. I called my friend Andrea and said what should I do....she said for God's sake, give it a try. In he moved, we were married May 16th 1980.
He is still talking about his kids...when we married they were 8, 9, and 10. Now their kids are that age.
