Love at First Sight

By Kenny Trujillo



I met my future wife at Albertson’s Grocery Store, in the toothpaste section January 10, 1987.  I walked up to her and told her that it seems they only sell large tubes of toothpaste and she, Margaret, replied, “I wish the store sold smaller quantities as it’s only me and my two boys.”



I then asked her if there might be a time that she and I could have a cup of coffee and talk.  She stated that she didn’t know if I was married or not.  I gave her one of my business cards and told her that she could call my boss and ask him.



She told me where she worked and two days later I showed up at her place of employment with a letter of introduction.  Seven months later we were wed.  Together we have three sons, three daughters and 23 grandchildren.
