80 Cecelia Ahernand he took my number and asked me out but I said no! So I must havegone all gushy after your wedding because when I came back I rang him upand asked him out!Oh Alex I’ve been wined and dined like never before! He’s taken me torestaurants I only read about in magazines and he’s terribly romantic, butyou said not to give you all the details so I won’t tell you about our weekendaway down the country . . . OK so you wanted to know all about him, heregoes: He is 35, works at the bank in Fairview. He’s not exactly tall (myheight), which isn’t exactly small but . . . OK if he was to stand beside you,you would have a fantastic view of his scalp. But he has sandy-colored hairand wonderful twinkling blue eyes.He is always bringing Katie little gifts when he comes, which I knowhe shouldn’t do, but I love seeing her being spoiled especially as I haven’texactly been able to do that myself over the years. I can’t believe I havefinally met a man that doesn’t mind that I have a daughter, all the otherslooked at me like I was diseased when I told them and would suddenlythink of a great excuse to have to leave the dinner table. I also can’tbelieve that Katie and I have finally agreed on the same man. She onlyseemed to like the young pretty ones that she fancied herself probably. Weneed to be realistic here, though, I can’t exactly afford to be picky!! Heridea of a great partner for me was someone who would play games withher all the time, pull silly faces, put on unattractive voices and wearbrightly colored clothes that should only be worn on Saturday morningTV.Anyway I seem to have found him. He is a very generous, caring, andthoughtful man, and I think I am very lucky to have met him. It may notlast forever but I’m enjoying myself Alex. I know I’ve been such a miseryguts for the past, oh I don’t know ...10 years or so (!) but now I have realizedthat Katie and I are a team and if they can’t love us both, then they canget lost.But I think I may have met a man who does. Fingers crossed.PS: I notice you have stopped referring to Ireland as home ...your heartmust finally be in Boston now.
