Do you know couples who finish each other’s sentences or know what the other’s about to say? Perhaps you do this with your own spouse.
Wayne and I do. Frequently. We especially freak each other out about food and restaurants.
For instance, say it’s nearing dinner time. Maybe I’ll be craving pizza, which I haven’t mentioned to Wayne, and he’ll say something like, “I’m getting hungry. Want to go to Pizza Hut?”
It’s freaky when it happens, and for as long as I can remember we’ve been doing it. But that’s because we’ve been together awhile. I don’t know if we did that in the very, very beginning.
But I do know we shared a “connection” early on. One that’s still working to this day. I’ll give you a couple of examples.
The Rollover
The first time I experienced our connection was in 1986. It was late October, very near to Halloween. Wayne was coming home for the weekend from college and had bummed a ride with a friend.
He should have been to my house around six. But six came and went, then six-thirty, then seven. This was before cell phones so I had no way to reach him. But I believe he sent me a message anyway.
At one point I was standing at the front window watching for him. I had a very vibrant flash of a car rolling over with people inside. It was dark, there was snow on the ground, and there was a tiny embankment ending in a ditch with a fence in the background. The fence was of the variety that marks certain rural stretches in Colorado.
It was so clear in my mind it was like I was there. I was certain Wayne had been involved in a car accident. Come to find out, to some extent he had been.
He ended up getting to my house a little after 8:00, at which point he explained he was late because some friends had been in a car accident. They’d rolled their car down a snowy embankment into a ditch. Wayne and his friend had come upon them at South Park and had waited with them until help came.
I’ve got a more recent example, too, which I’ll share in Part II.
