like Bert, I would have been with him forever. But it did not work out that way, unfortunately. I thought he hated me. I felt that the control over my life was stolen from me during many relationships, especially my two failed marriages. Grandpa, was a wonderful Dad. Great father but shitty husband. My grandmother had something to do with it. I could see his point of view on that. He was tough. I am more like my father than my mother. They (Mom and Dad) went to a dance. There were a lot of dances back then. She was cute and that’s how they met. My father was a good man. The girlfriend I had thought was ‘after’ he divorced my mother. But I found out he cheated on my mom and I never knew it at the time. That’s why they divorced. Sally, my dad’s 2nd wife, he met at the laundry. He went there for years. There was a chair he use to sit in and talk to her. They were an odd couple. He overlooked her disability. Sally was born with a disfigured arm, that was probably due to experimental vaccines in those days. I still feel his hugs! He was special. My father gave me confidence in myself. He taught me about Character and that,“You are only as good as your word. ”
