Two souls destined to be together, separated for thirty years, only to be reunited once again. This is the story of Edgar and Diane, two soul mates who found each other after being separated since they were less than a year old. Their first encounter had been when they were just babies; Diane was the oldest at five months old, Edgar at two months.

It was early fall 1972 the first time their paths crossed. They sat side by side in their baby swings, basking in the warm southern California sunshine as their mommies chatted and gently rocked their swings.

They had exchanged photos and talked several times on the phone before they agreed to meet. She tried to relax and focus on her magazine, but she just couldn't suppress the emotions welling up within her as dozens of thoughts raced through her mind.
