Searching for Amy
I was in A&E in 1999 as Simon Hood. I lived in North Carolina and fell in love with Amy from Colorado (Valkyrie). Our characters met at the Jaded Tavern and after playing together, she and I became close friends via email, chat and phone. Before graduating High School, we each of us decided to meet the other. We were to meet in Sullivan, Missouri and stay in a hotel for a week.
I told her to stay home until I got there so that we could have a phone checkpoint (this was before we all had cell phones).
I arrived after a horrible drive at the hotel 900 miles from home and she was late with her call. Turns out she had broken down at a Flying J Truck Stop in Kansas.
I got right back in the car and drove another 10 hours to pick up a girl I'd never met in person.
On the way back to the hotel, I took a highway off the interstate and hit some ice. My car flipped.
"Are you okay, babe?"
I gave my car to the tow truck driver and various county cops drove us to county line after county line until she and I made it from Herman Missouri to Sullivan.
It was one of the greatest weeks of my life.
Another gamer from Texas, Tori, heard about our plight and wired enough money to get us both to our respective homes at the end of the week.
I never spoke to Tori again.. and I need to.. to repay, to thank... to.. adore?
After graduation I moved to Colorado... twice... and fell in love with Amy.
We lived with her mom and I worked at Bennett's BBQ.
Amy went camping to Wyoming with her mom one week and I had to go back to North Carolina for a time... she never understood or gave me the chance to tell her...
I am looking for Amy.. and Tori, to say thanks. They both helped to change my life.
I am now happily married with beautiful children and live in Florida.
If any of you remember us or can get my email out to them.. please.
