Part of the Arman series My heart is yours..., Love Letter
In life there are certain things that will always come to be.... death, taxes, birth and falling in love. The birth of a new child and the beginning of a new love are much better than the latter.
Almost a year ago, Arman was heart broken. Now, he is like a new man reborn. Amazing how the beginning of a new love has a way of transforming a person. What is it about love that just makes everything around look, smell and sound so much better? What would posess an individual to travel an hour one way, once or twice a month, just to see the object of his affection? I am in awe as I watch it unfold.
I must say that the young lady is most worthy of his affection. She is attending university and has a great deal of common sense. She has requested to meet me. I have agreed to meet her. It will be an interesting meeting. Even more interesting is that Arman's father has requested to meet her. Now, that would be a meeting worth attending. It is as though the Godfather has requested an audiance with you. Get the picture?!
Arman's father graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. She attends Texas A & M University. I am sure many of you are familiar with the rivalry. I still remember when the boys told me, "Dad said he would pay for all of our university costs. As long as we did not attend Texas A & M University." Yep! The irony of Arman's selection does not escape me. I think it is so delicious.
l am very happy for my son and hope that all ends well for him on his new journey. Love can be a beautiful journey, if it is shared with the most compatible person. It can be like heaven on earth. It does not mean that there will not be challenges. After all, life has a way of being a roller coaster ride.

Yes, they are taking things slowly. They still have two more years of college to finish.
Hopefully, things will work out well for both of them.
Have a great week!

by Latina on Mon Jan 24, 2011 03:16 PM PSTWell I would rather go to where she is. I can just chillax on the beach later on which is why I was planning on lunch.
I was thinking of dressing casual like.......jeans and nice top.
For the meal, I don't feel like eating ethnic. Man, I would not touch "fish head soup with eyes and all". So, I guess she fits right in with my family. LOL
He is already going to university but he plans on transferring to Texas A & M.
Cheers!

by yolanda on Sun Jan 23, 2011 06:54 PM PSTNow as far as ethnic seafood you may want to suggest if she likes fish head soup with eyes and all!
**************
LOL!
Mouse,
You cracked me up! The soup will scare the girl away! It is a little too exotic! :O)

Hi Natalia,
TAMU is a great school with a lot of traditions...before the football game, they have "yelling practice".......it is better than UT! LOL!
I have a TAMU pennant at work!
I am glad that both of them want to finish college......it is a great start!
Natalie as long as it is ethnic seafood it'd be fine!
by Esfand Aashena on Sun Jan 23, 2011 06:40 PM PSTAgain I don't know the situation but I think the "right" thing to do would be for them to come see you and then you can take them to a restaurant of your choice and be your treat.
If you're going all the way there then they can take you out, their treat their restaurant of choice but a dinner so y'all can talk and relax. Lunch would be zip in zip out!
Again I don't know and you'd have to make the decisins. Oh and as far as what is love or as Forrest Gump would say what love is it's something when you're young and dumb! You dont know what s happening or why you're doing stuff! The manual is silent on that stuff but as you get older you know better! You know what love is!
I thought he was in college already, so I don't understand what you mean by buying him Aggie stuff. Is he transferring or was he always an Aggie?
Now as far as ethnic seafood you may want to suggest if she likes fish head soup with eyes and all! If she says yes you'd know she is worldly and if she says no, you'd want to know why! Why?! Why would someone not like such comfort food that is a nutritious delicacy? What could she be hiding?!
Everything is sacred
I see..........
by Latina on Sun Jan 23, 2011 04:03 PM PSTWell you will always be Raton to me. LOL
Thank you for posting the link. I now understand the why of the change in name.
Apparently, I have been gone a very looooooooong time. :o)
I think we will probably do seafood. As she lives near a large body of water.
Natalie dinner may be better!
by Esfand Aashena on Sun Jan 23, 2011 03:41 PM PSTYes I explained it in my Moving blog! Dinner may be nicer altough I don't know the whole situation and all. Although I'd recommend the most ethnic food! That's always a good test!

Thank you! So nice to see you again. Thank you for the music.
Looks like my son may become an Aggie too. :o)
I am just loving it! I think I will begin to buy Aggie stuff for Arman.

I attended TAMU also.....I am an Aggie!....both my parents worked there for 20 years!
I am glad that your son found his new love!

Welcome back!

by Latina on Sun Jan 23, 2011 01:51 PM PSTEsfand Aashena are you Raton?
Your avatar is just like his and your end saying "Everything is sacred" is like his too.

by Latina on Sun Jan 23, 2011 01:49 PM PSTI do agree that biochemical reactions are involved in the process of falling in love. However, one must not over look the emotional component.
Breaking up is a very difficult situation. The person does feel like they are going through withdrawals. They feel as though they are having a major anxiety attack and become obsessive as to the why's of the failure of the relationship.
The emotional turmoil from losing a mate can be amongst the worse experiences.
Thank you very much for your input. Thank you for your well wishes.
Best wishes!

by Latina on Sun Jan 23, 2011 01:50 PM PSTWell, I was thinking of it being a casual type meeting. I will travel with Arman to meet her next month. I was thinking of having lunch.
He has already met her parents during the Thanksgiving holidays.
Cheers!
It is all biochemical reactions
by J.S. on Sun Jan 23, 2011 01:05 PM PSTGenerally, breakups Feel Like Cocaine Withdrawal the full study with comments and ABS is on pubmed but you can read a general article here:
//www.thefrisky.com/post/246-new-study-shows-dealing-with-a-breakup-feels-like-cocaine-withdrawal/
Medically, the withdrawal terminates once the withdrawalee is exposed to the same medication. Hence, the euphoria you discribe.
But how great it is to read your words and see the display of my own youth. I can relate to it in so many ways. My own exposure to 3 different cultures and 9 years of university education contained so much of what you discribe.
But oh how age changes one´s perspective.
I wish your son all the best. ¡Por que no? Asi es! Bein dia, y buenos deseosa.
Natalie "meetings" are never good!
by Esfand Aashena on Sun Jan 23, 2011 12:50 PM PSTMay I suggest just "dropping by"?! A meeting could be construed as a "bllind date" and you know they don't usually go well, too much pressure! Although, this is not a blind date so it could work out!
Good luck!
Everything is sacred
