I Remember Judy - Part Six

Walking On Sunshine The next few weeks were wonderful days for us. Everyone saw a new kick in Judy’s step and a bigger smile on her face. While my original intention was to make her understand what she meant to me, it seemed to have given her an entirely new outlook on life. She was still shy, but... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Part Five

Let’s Eat In Tonight! A week after the fair, Judy and Lois asked Steve and me over to eat at their apartment. We had always taken the girls out and thought it would be nice to be served a meal that they had made. Steve had made a wisecrack about this being a test run for future marriage, something...

I Remember Judy - Part Four

Our First Real Date Several weeks had gone by with our dates consisting of going to the first aid classes or making runs to a local restaurant.

I Remember Judy - Part Three

Moving Forward When we left McDonald’s, Judy and I agreed to try to ‘get together’ as soon as we could. It wasn’t as easy as you might think. She was an OB nurse working five-midnight shifts a week, and I was a paramedic working three or four twenty-four-hour shifts a week. All too often, our shifts... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Two

“We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is... Sign in to see full entry.

This will be published tomorrow on my "Dealing With Grief" Vella. Appreciate The Beauty “I’m so sorry,” he said because after Pamela died, he promised himself that if anyone told him the smallest, saddest story, he would answer, I’m so sorry. Meaning, yes, that happened. You couldn’t believe the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Barber

This is from my "A Knock On The Door" Vella project. This story is a classic example of my conscious mind thinking one thing, and my subconscious mind and fingers doing something else. My original intent was to write a dark and scary story, but without realizing it, it became a love story. Yes, it... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate My Mother - And What Did I Learn? (Finale)

And What Did I Learn? You can’t write the things I’ve written in this story without having memories, nightmares, and a better understanding of the good and bad things you’ve done with your life. I had several nights with some frightening nightmares, and I woke up crying and afraid. I’m not sure what... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate My Mother - Where Were You, Dad?

Where Were You, Dad? There have been two questions I have been asked many times as this story progressed on Vella. The first was easy to answer in two parts. The question was, “Is this story true? How did you survive?” Yes, this story was true as I could make it. I am sixty-nine in January 2023,... Sign in to see full entry.
