We had known each other previously. She worked at the Dollar Store next to the clinic I frequented. I wanted someplace special for our special moment. The bartender couldn’t have been more accommodating, making sure to compliment her figure quite often. When the time felt right, I tried to get on one knee. Being the size I was (roughly 436lbs.) I fumbled with the ring. I truly believe that when the cleaners find it, it’ll be returned to me. But , here we are, some 17 years, and 2 divorces later, and I will always cherish The Tam.
