Celebration 10 Bob LaDue

Celebration 10
My high school crush Bob LaDue.

High school boyfriends came easy to me.  I almost always had a boyfriend.  Some not so good ones, some that cheated on me numerous times, some that really liked me and I was just playing the part, and some that were interested in a serious relationship while I was just in limbo mode until a better option came along. These are things I'm NOT proud of.  This is the reason I tell my daughter all the time that I hope nobody judges me for who I am today by the person I was in high school.

Then, there was Bob LaDue.  He was the one boy that really wasn't that interested in me.  He was not pursuing a relationship with me, in fact I'm pretty sure he was avoiding it.  We did go to Prom together and that gave me hope that maybe, just maybe he would "love" me.  Looking back, I'm sure he either went because his mom made him or because his buddies were dating my buddies.  I can't believe he wasn't interested I did all the things a psycho girlfriend would do.

Drove by his house numerous times.......check
Wrote him multiply notes.........check
Made him a mix tape of love songs...............check
Hung out with his younger sister in hopes of running into him at home..............check
Made him a video of "our story" with baby pictures and all..................check (this one is the most painful one to type)

Yep. Psycho.  I'm so sorry about these actions and I am thankful for grace.  He is happily married.   I am happily married.  Life continued even when I thought there was no way possible it would :)  

He taught me all about rejection.  To keep moving forward trying to become better than what you were in the past.  In his honor, I will be delivering a gift to a mother that has been rejected by her young daughter.  I think she is a wonderful person and I know that the pain she has endured will be followed with grace.
