This is a story about a guy, whose life went from his all time worst to his all time best.
Jamie had a life he could never have dreamed of, him and his loving wife Mary had bought their dream house and had a wonderful child. Mary was a stay home mom and Jamie was a very successful doctor. Nobody could even begin to imagine the life Jamie once had. Back then he had no promising future or career of any kind, now if you looked at him, you would have thought he was one of those kids with rich parents and had attended some fancy and prestigious school, but here’s the real story.
At just 5 years old, Jamie’s mom had passed away due to stage 4 lung cancer. After the death Jamie’s dad became an alcoholic and was no longer obliged to take care of him, so now 7 year old Jamie went to go live with his grandma. Years went by and Jamie passed some huge milestones in his life but now came the biggest. After 8 years of living with his grandma she had just died.
Day and slowly passed by and it was now time for the funeral, Jamie was already very depressed and to make matters worse he didn’t have a place to live, so for now he was just using all the money his grandma gave him in her will to stay in a cheap motel. So when the time came, Jamie’s cab pulled up to the cemetery where his grandma’s funeral was being held. Not expecting anybody else to be there, considering there wasn’t any other family members except for his dad; Jamie was startled to see a girl around his age there. As he approached her he rehearsed in his mind what to say but before he could mumble out a word she was off, rambling about how she and his grandma had been such good friends because she was the junior librarian and would always help her pick out books. She then continued saying how they would always go out for coffee after and how sad she was now. Jamie just introduced himself and focused on the funeral.
Once the ceremony was finally over, the girl (whose name was Mary) invited him out for dinner. Jamie accepted but was a little unsure, but all that went away when they were laughing over a huge owl of onion rings at Apple Bee’s. Once dinner was finally over, Jamie realized he was sad to see Mary leave, so he willingly asked her out for lunch tomorrow. Mary said yes and that was that.
To shorten things up I will just say, that their first date was not their last, not by a long shot. After about a year of dating the two lovebirds moved in together, when one night, Jamie asked Mary that if she could accomplish one thing in her life what it would be. Mary sheepishly giggled that it would be her bucket list. Jamie was baffled because he had no clue what a bucket list was, but if it was for Mary he was willing to try it. It was settled, that in the morning they would take a look at this so called “bucket list”.
It was astonishing, all these goals and dreams written down, Jamie was so eager he didn’t know where to start. So Marry suggested from to top, and they would work their way down from there. After a few minutes of chatting, they hoped online and started planning their trip to the Amazon, and after the Amazon there was a countless amount of things left to accomplish. Since the list was so long they made a deal to never add anything else, but Jamie had to. One night when Mary fell asleep Jamie crept across the room to add one more thing. To get married.
When the day finally came and they were at the end of the bucket list was when she saw it. Marry had saw what Jamie had wrote started jumping and screaming “Yes!” Jamie was ecstatic. After marriage he got a wonderful job and they had their beautiful child.
