Joey and Rory

As a lot of you know, I would rather stick forks in my eyes than listen to Country music. There are exceptions to that rule at times but for the most part I've never been a big fan of country music. There was this one show on one of the networks called Can you Duet? It was a music competition for people singing duets. Sometimes I would be flipping through the channels and happen upon the show and like a deer in headlights I would just sit and watch it. THEN I saw this one couple, I think they were from Tennesee sing. They weren't just singing, they were singing to each other and it looked like they forgot there were judges in front of them. I instantly fell in love with this couple, not because of their voices but because of their love for each other. It was just so sweet and so strong, it was really refreshing to see it. I know sometimes I have a hard exterior about love and say it sucks but inside I am a true romantic and hope someday it does happen for me, but for now, I'll just enjoy seeing other people who are truly in love. I think what got me the most was this man. He was a sweet, shy, soft-spoken guy that played the guitar and sang harmony with her. He actually reminded me of what I thought my mom's dad might have been like (except for the singing), he died when I was 5 years old, but the stories that I heard about him falling in love with my grandmother, he just sounded like a very sweet, shy man who was extremely in love with my mom's mom (she died of breast cancer when my mom was a baby) which devastated him and he really didn't want my mom around to remind him of her so they sent her to live with my mom's mom's mother and dad.

ANYWAY, I hope one day I will find that kind of love. Don't really want a sweet shy guy but would like someone that looks at me like I'm the only woman in the world and someone that would throw himself in front of a bullet for me...or something like that. I hope that Joey and Rory's love lasts forever and they are old folks in a nursing home someday that still sing to each other.
