What is a soulmate? A soulmate is someone who you hold onto and carry with you forever. A soulmate is like a best friend but better. Soulmates bring out the best in each other and encourage each other through the good and even tough times. Soulmates are my great grandparents. My great grandparents Christine and Bud are a perfect example of soulmates and high school sweethearts. Now these love birds met back in 1932, my grandma was 13 and my grandpa was 16.
They got married in 1941, but we are unsure of the date when they actually started dating. My grandfather in high school was an amazing quarterback for their high school, also being a head chief for the Amityville Fire Department. My grandma being is his number one support. My grandfather then became a Marine and was in active duty but not yet set for deployment until after they had welcomed their first baby girl into the world. While away at war he would write many letters to my grandma, her keeping them all and us having them still to this day.
These letters aren’t any random pieces of paper with writing on them, these are memories. In these letters he’d tell things that were going on at the time, stories, poems and obviously how much he missed and loved my grandma and couldn’t wait to be home. One of my favorite poems that he wrote was titled “You” as he writes as a poet very poetic and a sweetheart. I have looked up this this couple my entire life and have always wanted a relationship as strong as theirs is.

I do agree, your soulmate is not just your other half, they are your best friend, your everything. They are your biggest support system and the one person that you can be 100% weird with around others with no problem.
Relationships are trial and error. one day you will find the one that just clicks for you everything you want you will find in that one specific person. old love seems to be different then modern love we base our relationships not neccesairly on people as a whole but more of a title or who and what i get out of it. I can promise one day youll find the one.
This is such a cute story I’m so glad you decided to share this in a blog post. This blog post could give others the inspiration they need to keep trying in relationships. It’s crazy how little this happens now a days so I’m glad to see this story.
