With permission from my friend George.

My friend George was a good man, smart and hard working with a nice heart and a good job. No bad habits, healthy, very helpful, open minded person and love his job. Back in 1986 he met a nice and beautiful French Canadian lady from Syrian back round Marie was her name.

Marie was a hotly, sexy, beautiful model like figure with sexy body and gorgeous eyes , she stole his breath and he fall in love with her from the first site and first meeting at the hospital they talked in the phone and met only twice but he called her and talked to her on the phone.

George decided to move to the USA and stay beside his older brother Sam as was alone in Windsor Ontario. He asked Marie to join him .She said she will wait as she was going throw an abusive relationship with a man that raped her and kept her captive for weeks and threatened to kill her if she call the police .George tried to call the police but she refused to give him his address and where about. George and Marie exchanged lots of romance on the phone. There was no computer, cellular phone or social media on those days. 

George moved to the USA and on the promise that Marie will follow him later. He rented a nice a apartment close to his job in Palm Spring California. George started working very hard hoping that Marie will follow him. He prepared the place for her and bought the wedding ring for her too and told the jewelry store that if the ring was smaller or larger they must fix it and they agreed to fix it free of charge. It was beautiful diamond ring with golden base and he spends 3000 USA dollars for it. George had his USA social insurance number to work in USA and was waiting for his green card interview. Marie told him she will follow him and gave him a date. but later she started getting a cold feet .She never return George phone calls any more , she don’t call him back , she managed to leave her abusive relationship .

A rich business man in Palm Spring California had a baby with some motor function disorder and George was the one who did the ultrasound on him after weeks of lab tests and normal sonography in different clinic .George decided to do an ultrasound of the baby brain.

George rushed to the Radiologist and told him about the brain tumor that he found , the radiologist came with George to his room and they saw the tumor together later was proven to be a malignant kind of star cell carcinoma .This tumors that start in star-shaped brain cells called astrocytes. An astrocyte is a type of glial cell. Glial cells hold nerve cells in place, bring food and oxygen to them, and help protect them from disease, such as infection..The baby was operated on, he was recovered , and had no more system . The rich man became good friend with George and told him that he will return a great favor to him one day. George told him that he was only doing his job.

The rich man asked George to join him for supper at his home. George went to Bob ( the rich man) home and he was amazed with the luxury and style of the house it was multi million dollars home.

After they had supper with the family and sat for a drink, Bob asked George.

Do you have a family or children? Bob asked George

Not yet but I am waiting for my Girlfriend to come here and I want to ask her to marry me, i bought the ring for her. George answered

Good then congratulation George, Bob answered back. Bob also told George that as a token of appreciation he will do all the wedding party in his house and that he will pay for the food, music, catering and the photography and all George had to do is to bring the ring with him and it will be an excellent party and that he will invite all the people who work with George at his work place, plus Bob friends .It was like a dream come true for George .The time was coming so near but Marie never called back they agreed on a date and George was so worried, as he couldn’t reach her all. George decided to call her family.

Marie’s sister was on the phone and few minutes she told him the truth. She told him that Marie find another man and she went with him to a resort in Florida. Sorry George to tell you all that she had cold feet and I feel you should know. Marie’s sister said.

Thank you for telling me the truth, George said with broken heart and sad voice.

George was so stressed out and depressed when he heard the news .He couldn’t focus on his work and he took time off. George Called Bob the rich man and he told him that Marie had a car accident and she is not coming here at this time.

Don’t ever worry George if you need any help I can come with you and buy first class tickets and we go Visit her , Bob said.

No thank you she wanted to be alone at this time as the injury was severe, George replied.

George’s brother Sam and his family tried to help but George felt that moving to USA wasn’t good for him and he wanted to be alone.

George applied to North British Colombia and he got the job in one of the hospital. When he was ready to go to USA the Immigration stopped him as he didn’t have working Visa with him and waiting for green card wasn’t good enough reason to enter as they know that he was working in one of the medical center.

George managed to call his brother Sam and asked him to take all his furniture and belonging and ship for him some boxes, clothes and some books. George also asked Sam to the wedding ring and give it to his wife as they didn’t have a good wedding ring. Sam was so upset to see his brother heartbroken and leaving the USA.

George moved back to north British Colombia and started working very hard and started from zero again.

Two weeks after he moved to BC and while he was working at the hospital The clerk called him and told him that a lady by the name of Marie want to talk to him.

Tell her I am not her, George asked the front desk clerk.

The phone was ringing again and again. Please tell her not call back here, George ask the receptionist.

The clerk told her off and asked her not to call her again.

George went back home and the phone started to ring at his place over and over again. George answered the phone and Marie was in the other end.

What the F*** you want from me why are you calling me you supposed to be with your boyfriend in Florida. George was screaming at her and first time ever used the F word .

So sorry I managed to get your phone from your brother in the state I felt that I owe you an explanation, she said.

He fooled me he told me he was single and he asked me to go with him to Florida but after 2 weeks I found he have a wife and I smashed the window of his car that sun of a b***   . she was screaming and angry.

Listen I don’t give a S** about him or you any more , don’t call me back her, your sister told me everything , George screamed back at her and called back her mother and asked her that she don’t bother him again.

George changed his phone number and never contacted his brother for one year .He also put all her pictures in the garbage and went doing what he love most, his job.

Years go back and George traveled the world, helped his sisters and brothers, did his MSC and his PhD and live his life and enjoy his work and travel.

2016 George got an e mail from Marie. 30 years later , she managed to find George in the social media on face book, LinkedIn and Google.

Wow George told me LinkedIn it is not just for job , it can link the people and they can find each other here what surprise.

George told me that he let his heart on the table again and his love for her took the best of him but then he stopped and rethink. He told her off that he has nothing in common with her any more as she is divorced twice and that she had her chance .

She told him that she felt 2 marriages because she was in love with him.

George told me that she still blame him even for her marriage failure and that was unfair for him so he got mad t her,

George told her to focus on her 2 daughter’s one from each previous husband.

The second X husband still live close to her house so he can be closer to his daughter..

For George it was like she opened an old wound, and she started fanning an old flame. they say LOVES NEVER DIE, George told me.

 But I must kill it in my heart, George told me again, and started talking about the past and how ladies can be so manipulative. That is why I am still single, George said.

What are you going to do George, why dont you forget , forgive and go back with her, I asked him

It is not that easy , she robbed me from true feeling ll these 30 years , sleeping with other men and become a successful lady , had 2 daughters and enjoyed her family life and now she want me back after all other men left her , he said.

Why they left her George did she say anything, I asked.

Yes she did, she said both of them cheated on her, and she deserves it. He said

She cheated on me and I hope she felt how much it hurt, George told me with sad voice.

Now she is paralyzed with one leg, semi retired she is hoping that I can be the same little naive George and forgive, George was talking to me on the phone.

I forget but I cannot forgive, I am not Jesus. George said.

True loves never die George, I told him

It will die, and if it doesn’t die I will kill it in my heart, George was loud on the phone.

How you can kill love George, I asked,

There are many people who say you can continue a relationship after being cheated on or doing the cheating. They claim that it’s possible to move on from that dark period and continue to love each other just the same as you first did when those three magical words entered the relationship. George said.

The truth is that a relationship dies once you step outside of it, particularly in my case , George was talking and explaining

She was the love of my life and first loves always come with a strong sense of innocence and vulnerability. The more open you are, the more it will hurt when someone betrays you like she did. Once your trust is broken it’s almost impossible to get that naive wide eyed feeling back. George told me with sad voice. George went on to advice me

Don’t listen to your heart any more, listen to your brain, your logic and your gut. That is how you kill your heart and when you kill your heart you kill you love, and love with die.

I didn’t know what to say, Good night George I have to go to bed now. Good night

Goodnight dear friend, George said.
