My grandmother later that day was sitting thanking my girlfriend for all she did and then said 'I noticed how you handled today, that's enough in my book, you have my permission to marry my grandson.' Little did I know about a year later, with her approval (lol), I made that women my wife." - Redditor 9onthesnap That warmed my heart and I knew she was who I wanted to be with. She not only was being great, she never mentioned nothing about not leaving nor any of her feelings, she was just there to help if she could. "This was the first time meeting any of my family and now she was surrounded by everyone during death in the family. This woman was expecting to spend some time on a beach with her boyfriend and instead was stuck in the awkward situation (to put it mildly). "Well, she was in the kitchen cleaning up after making lunch for everyone and setting up snacks for family that was on the way. About noon or so, I realized I kind of forgot about my girlfriend. I was busy calling family, calling a priest, funeral home, and trying to console my grandmother. I quickly sprang to action and began helping with the arrangements. "The next morning I was woken up by my aunt who told me quietly that grandpa had passed and she needed my help. Well, we visited all night and stayed the night in one of the guest rooms. My girlfriend came out to comfort me and after a while I felt better. I had to excuse my self and went out on the porch and balled my eyes out. We show up on Friday evening to my grandfather now residing in a hospital bed, about 40 to 50 pounds less than three weeks earlier, and really in bad shape. I figured I would take my new girlfriend, we would visit the grandparents, and then head off to Miami for a couple of days. "I had assumed she was being dramatic as I had just seen him three weeks earlier and he was going pretty well. I got a call from my aunt that I needed to come for another visit as his time was short. My grandfather was sick and nearing the end of his fight with lung cancer. "I love telling this story, I hope you enjoy it. Just had our four year anniversary last week and I feel the same as I did that day." - Redditor richandbrilliant I don't know why but for some reason seeing her then for the first time away from school really made it click for me. Something just came over me and I realized how happy I was, how happy she made me, and how much I really cared about her. "Eventually, I spot her on a busy street corner looking around, but she hasn't seen me yet. We're trying to find each other on the crowded street (I didn't really know the city at that time so I was kind of going in circles looking for her). She lives right in Toronto whereas I lived on the outskirts, so I take the train into the city and to meet her right downtown. "Anyways, school ends, we both go home to our respective parents' house, and make plans to see each other at my girlfriend's house after about 10 days. Anyways, we live about an hour apart when we're on summer holidays, but having never done long distance it seems really far away and we're both nervous about how things between us will change only seeing each other about once a week for four months right at the beginning of the relationship. We were both dumb 18 year olds, but something really, really felt connected about us and we had already said 'I love you' in April (one month in - I know, stupid). "Met a girl at university in March 2011, we hit it off really well and eventually decide to make things exclusive. "I don't know why but for some reason seeing her then for the first time away from school really made it click for me." Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
