This is the tragic love story of my Aunt Bill. I have never met Aunt Bill and If I did I was too young to remember. Mom tells me stuff about her all the time. One day we were talking about her and she told me she only loved one man her whole life so, I asked her about it.
Aunt Bill was 16, maybe 17, years old and still in high school. She was madly in love with an 18 year old boy at school. One night this boy wanted to take her out on a date and she happily accepted. Aunt Bill showed up to his house where they would leave for their night on the town. She arrived to the boy and his father arguing over his taking Aunt Bill out on a date. The argument became heated and the young man ran out the door to Aunt Bill when the father stepped out with a gun and shot him in the back. Unfortunately he died. Aunt Bill watched her love die in his front yard.
She never loved another man for the rest of her life and spent it single until she passed of old age. Bill had given this boy, and only this boy, her heart. She couldn't live with the thought of loving another person.
I wish I could tell the story a little better but thats the best I could do.
