It was St. Patrick's Day, Spring Break, 1992, and she was standing on Smather's Beach in Key West and she was looking out to sea when he walked up to her and he said I bet you're Irish because you're wearing a green bathing suit and she said no it's just a coincidence and she thought at the same time that he had the most beautiful eyes and he said what college are you from and she told him and she said how about you and he told her and she said what's your major and then he told her and then he said you know that's Cuba out there straight ahead and she said I know and I'd love to go there someday and he said you will...
They were married two years later and took their honeymoon in Cuba and stopped in Key West on the way back and they went to Smather's Beach and he said this is where it all started and she said yes and I'm so happy it did and he said I really love you so much and she said not as much as I love you and he said our love will last forever and she said yes and cried on his shoulder and said I would just die without you and she looked at him and couldn't stop looking at his most beautiful eyes and they went back up north and they moved into a house and he got a good job and she had their first child and as the years passed they had two more children and when one them (the boy) died in an accident she thought she would just die too but didn't and he lost his job but then got a better one and they moved into a bigger house and when he admitted that he'd had an affair she again thought she'd just die but she forgave him and he never cheated on her again and their children grew up and went to college and got married and had their own children and they would all visit each other on Sundays and he said it's been a wonderful life and she said only because our love was so strong and he said yes and held her hand and on their fiftieth anniversary they went to celebrate in Key West which was so different they were disappointed and when they came home he said he didn't feel well and she said what's the matter and he told her and she said it's probably nothing but they went to the doctor anyway and the doctor said it's only a matter of time and when he passed away she thought she'd just die and wanted to because he was the only one she ever loved but naturally she didn't not just then but when her time came the last thing she saw was his most beautiful eyes...
