hi Beth, what a dispicable man he was. In the end yo got a lovely baby girl and you did the right thing. Now, it is always difficult to juggle family and work. Especially when it comes to women. or at least that's how it used to be.
After that, he passed my my station he look in another direction. =After that, he passed my station and he looked in another direction.
Warm regards. Ulla:)))

Loved that smiling baby picture! How wonderful that you were blessed with a beautiful baby girl. You were so brave to keep working after all those awful experiences. I am proud of you for sticking up to that lecherous governor! How hard it was for you to keep this from your husband. I can understand if you thought it might hurt him. These days, I think couples should share about these things openly and then they could battle wayward men like Lee and that governor together.

    I found out early on that he would fight for me and I didn't want him doing that. I was afraid it might get him in trouble. I'd seen other men get upset and do things that landed them in jail. Besides I was worried he'd think maybe I caused it. I wasn't sure I didn't without meaning to/ He always told me men and women couldn't be friends. Thank you so much for the review and comments.
    Beth Thanks for seeing the things that need correcting.

I know how hard it is to leave a new baby. I never could do it. We just did without. Those were hard times. I really enjoy reading this.


he work situation wasn't what I'd expected (The???)

Lovely baby! We too waited until babies were a year old before starting DPT shots. The doctor gave the same dosage he gave young babies!

    I think two months was too early to start and after I lost one child that way, I wasn't taking that chance again. So many babies had problems back them. I hope they have changed the shot. It was the whooping caught portion that was the culprit. Thank for the review.

I liked this story . It seems as if things were a little iffy for a while but
you never gave up and gradually life improved. No whining, no complaining, just straight ahead, and doing the best every day.
I'd hire someone like you in a minute. Thanks for the lovely story.

Speaking to your late husband, you are in discussion about the future, about the unexpected changes, but inadvertently thinking of the changes that you could hopefully handle conveniently; well said, well done.

We have a friend who was a commercial artist when she was young, she worked for on of the big stores that was around at the time, of course, now the use photographs. You had many interesting jobs when young, as did I. Your former mentor come stalker could have been reported to the police these days. Beautifully written Beth, blessings, Roy
Typo : I hung and then removed, (the removed) 2: Mom (keep) the baby...kept? 3. She developed and ( opinated) personality. Opinionated?

    Roy, I appreciate your review and comments. Most everything I did back then, is done entirely different now. I'm a dinosaur. Yes, guys got away with a lot of things in those day they couldn't now in the "Me,Too" age. Women have more power than they once did. Thanks for picking up my spags.

Yes it's an interesting format -speaking directly to your late husband -perhaps this format is what enables a sense of immediacy to emerge as if the events have just happened - an enjoyable read- a slice of social history

    This is a different kind of format. I glad you think in helps make it seem like it is happening now. I'm not sure why I chose to do it this way but it seems to work for me. Thank you for the review and comments.
