The Hardest Goodbye
The year was 1956, and high school students Annette and Bob were smitten with each other. But just as their romance started to take off, Annette left Woodbridge, Virginia, to spend the summer with her relativities in Kentucky. As Annette drove away in a 1955 tan Pontiac, complete with a Marine Corps sticker, she waved goodbye to a teary-eyed Bob.
The couple had just slow danced together at their junior high school prom, and Bob couldn’t stop thinking about how lucky he was to have such a beautiful girl like Annette in his arms. He was completely and utterly in love. But little did Bob know that he would have to wait another 63 years to call her his again.
