My husband and Nick and I met in college in Iowa in 1966. We dated for two years, and I graduated a year before him and went home to Massachusetts to start nursing school. Nick graduated and returned to Michigan and while we were apart, we talked on the phone many times.
At the end of my first year in nursing school, Nick called and asked if I would consider transferring to nursing school in Michigan. I explained that my whole family and life was in Massachusetts. He was quiet for a moment and then said, “I thought we were getting married?” I replied and asked if he was asking to marry me, and he said yes! I transferred to nursing school in Michigan shortly after and married him after I graduated. We were married for 46 years until he died a few years back. We used to laugh all the time about how he asked me to marry him over the phone.
It’s funny, I’ve had the same home phone number for 30+ years. I recently made the switch to AT&T Phone – Advanced and thankfully was able to keep my same phone number and phone, along with all the memories I had talking to Nick. That year we were separated, the phone kept us close, and it’s been a part of our story ever since.
