Being the romantic that I am, I prefer to skip the analytical explanations for "soulmates" and believe that there is such a thing. I have seen people like my mom & dad and just recently another couple merge so completely that there has to be, IMHO, something else than the trite "chemistry" explanation involved. When I met my wife I had all but given up on finding a partner to share my life with. "Love" was a negative word that made me cringe and run in the opposite direction. Then I got picked up one late summer night while I was bored out of my skull at a posh "do," and I've never looked back. We share such an incredible empathy, bordering on telepathy, from the first moment we met, that I can't say there isn't something like "soulmates." To disregard the notion would be robbing myself and everyone else of both hope and faith. Most recently she was in Mali, filming the mating habits of the Fuzzballed Goondorpher or something like that (yes, she does that for a living) when I got hit with a minor heart condition and ended up in the hospital. While I was there, the wifey calls on a satellite phone and asks if everything is all right, because she's had a bad feeling all day. We usually get in touch once each week, and this was completely out of sync. If that ain't "soulmates" then nothing is. Just my humble 50 cents (or øre, as it is)
