Mom of Two Gets a Call from Her First Love after 28 Years, Feelings Are Reignited — Story of the Day

Two cities, two different backgrounds, a few heartbreaks, and almost 28 years is what it took Julia to reconnect with her first love William. But what would their future hold now that their lives had changed dramatically in so many years?

Julia met William for the first time during her summer vacation at her grandmother’s house in Texas. William’s father ran a small farm, and the boy used to assist him during his school vacations.

“You’re right, Julia,” Will agreed. “Nothing will make sense to me. In fact, I’m not interested to find out. From now on, let’s not call each other. LET’S GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS RIGHT NOW!”

“WILL!” Julia screamed on the call, tears rolling down her cheeks. “How can you do this? Josh is just a friend. You heard his voice in the background because we had gone grocery shopping together, and he was just helping me with that. Hello … Will? Are you there?” William had already disconnected the call.

Julia burst into tears. She wasn’t cheating on him; in fact, like William, she was waiting for the end of the college year to propose to him, but his jealousy...
