First crushes
/It saddened me to find out Davey Jones had passed away. He was the first star I ever had a real crush on. (Though Tom Jones was a close second, I must admit.) Unfortunately, I have no posters from the past to remember him by. In all honesty, I don't think I was even old enough to have posters on my bedroom wall at the time that I swooned over Davey.
While Davey may have been my first celebrity crush, my first forever crush was on someone else. I do, thankfully, have a poster of him:
That is my own personal rock star.
That is Jim.
Husband to me. Dad to my amazing daughters. PawDad to my awesome grandsons.
That's Jim as he looked 31 years ago, when I very first crushed on him.
The groovy colors weren't part of the original photo, of course.
I added those yesterday.
Because I still have a crush on him.
And crushes make you do crazy things.
And because I wanted a groovy photo to add to his birthday post.
Today is Jim's birthday.
Thirty-one years later, Jim is still my rock star.
Thirty-one years later, Jim is still my one and only forever crush.
Happy birthday, Jim.
