How it all began...

During her sophomore year of high school, my daughter approached me with a different sparkle in her eyes. I knew what that sparkle meant.

She then asked me the story of my first love. After sharing my story, I realized we both had the same aspiration... we wanted to know every family members' first love.

Then, we wanted to know our friends' first loves. Then, we wanted to know our colleagues' first loves, our dentists', our fitness instructor's, bankers', neighbors' and soon we realized—everyone has a first love story to share.

We are now searching high and low, from the east coast to the west, for America's best first love stories. My plans are to publish a compilation of first love stories in a book titled, My Heart Remembers...My first love.

Complete the outline here and you may have the opportunity to see your story published!

We hope the journey of remembering your first love will bring back wonderful memories as your heart remembers your first love story.

"I ne'er was struck before that hour

With love so sudden and so sweet.

Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower

And stole my heart away complete...

I ne'er saw so sweet a face

As that I stood before.

My heart has left its dwelling place

And can return no more."

-John Clare (1793-1864)
