SFRose
(3 posts)111. Green Fields always makes me tear up a little
It reminds me of my high school sweetheart, whose heart I broke when we both went off to college. He had a huge impact on my life, and many years later, I wanted to reach out and thank him. Sadly, he died when his plane crashed in 2004. He was an exceptional person, brilliant and brave. I felt I was not his match, so I broke off our engagement. I wish I could say we parted on good terms, but my last memory is of him crying.
debm55
(59,870 posts)115. I am so sorry, that happened to you. SFRose. My story is similiar. We were engaged , I was 18 he was 20. I too ended it
because of my home life. My family hated him. They thought he felt too good for them. I gave in. I still think about him.at age 71. I love my husband, but Chris was my first love and I was forced to give him up for "family" I also love that song. Be at peace my friend. I love your song.and thank you for sharing. If you want to talk in private. Please DU mail me. love, debbie.
