In july 1973, for the first time in my life, I fell in love. With Michele first (down left), at a party at my place, celebrating our success at the exams : Michele was the first girl I ever kissed (I mean : french kiss, of course ;-). But things were not that easy between us, and the story stopped as soon as it started. I was very sad, despaired for six months after that. I talked a lot with Cathy (up right), as she was Michele's best friend. I felt so miserable... I guess my despair moved Cathy deeply and on january 1974, Cathy became my second girlfriend ever. She was the right one, and our story did last for a few years.

When it all started, I was 14, Michele was 15 and Cathy was 16.
I'm 50 now.
Those two early love stories meant a lot to me, through the years, till today.

35 years later, on a cold winter evening of december 2009, the three of us met again for the first time since then. We spent a wonderful and very emotional evening, listening to the music we used to love and dance upon, sharing some forgotten memories (you know, women do not remember the same things than men) and celebrating this impossible rendez-vous with champagne and laughter.
A wonderful journey through the past.

Do I still love them ? Yes, for having been the first women in my life.

And now, my older son is 15. Hope he will enjoy this time of his life and learn about it as much as I did
