I found a Valentine’s Day card from my mother’s ex.

She refused to let me show a picture of it, this was in 78 or 79, she met my dad in 83.

It was a pretty plain card except for the hand written section. Trying to recreate the structure of it and any mistakes he made, this was under the happy Valentine’s Day spiel.

“Dear Davey Thank you for giving me a chance,

as I have learned over the last few years asingle chance is all you need.

Like Luke who brought down the Death-Star with a single blow!!

I too have found you. I’m just Luke looking for my Leya.

Thank you for this Valentine’s Day.

See you at school TOMORROW Baby!

Love Lars.

——LIGHT———SABER———PAGE———BREAK———

P.S. How haven’t you seen StarWars!!?? They’re doing a second run down at the mall this weekend keep your book open!”

(There was a fucking drawing of a lightsaber used as a page break.)

Davy was my mom’s nickname her dad wanted a boy, as well he added an E. He misspelled Leia… Yeah uh he misused You’re instead of your.

She looked like she was having a PTSD flashback or something before laughing about it, told me about Lars and that she was freaked out about how he acted, he immediately tried to act like they were dating after agreeing to hang at the dance. Gave her the card and wouldn’t shut up about StarWars. Then afterwards she told him it wasn’t gonna work out, and he started getting pissed. He followed her around for like 2 weeks until he got the message. Apparently he had learned about starwars over the holidays due to some tv version or something and made it his personality.

Neckbeard m’lady guys existed back then too I guess.
