There’s a young lady in my neighbourhood in her mid 20s. See her round but don’t know her well enough to have a convo with - seems nice enough etc. But here’s the thing - her Dad was 2 years above me in school and the crush I had on him was CRAZY - UNREAL. You know when you’ve got a crush on someone and it excites you so much you’re awake ALL NIGHT - well THAT’S what I was like about this young lady’s Dad!! 😭
I even at one point - lost weight - and got a special photo shoot done by my photographer neighbour back in the day in the hope that somehow my pics would come to his attention (they didn’t).
Seems I wasn’t the only one who felt like this - her Dad certainly had heartthrob status among many of us girls - seems nearly all of us schoolgirls were vying for his attention back in the day!
I’ve seen this young lady more frequently around the local high street/coffee shops this weekend being Easter and I’ve often wondered - does she have any idea how UTTERLY CRACKERS we all used to be about her Dad?? 😭😭
She seems a confident, unfazed, worldly woman … but still 😭 I can’t help cringing thinking how I used to be over him !!
