I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Thirty Seven

As I look back, I know that she was hoping that every time I became lucid, I would remain that way so she could step away from the harness. As strong as she was at work, she didn't like being the family's decision-maker. If I could go back in time and change just one thing in my life, I would go... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Thirty Six

A Knock On The Door The next ten months brought Judy back to her usual self-confidence at work while being an ever-loving mother and wife. We had found a new house on the edge of a small town. It was quiet, with a large backyard and a large wooded area behind it. It needed some work, but we were... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Thirty Five

Reeling In The Years The next three years sped by like a bunny with wings. Judy returned to work without missing a beat, and Amanda became the base mascot. We didn’t take her on any emergency runs or any such thing, but she became quite the little actor for our first aid courses. It was amazing how... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Thirty Four

Going Home Two days later, I was at the hospital to bring my family home. I had parked the Camaro as close to the exit we would use as was legally possible, and then I went upstairs to accompany them down. After a series of discharge instructions, Judy took a seat in a wheelchair, and someone handed... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Thirty Three

New For Old I had barely had time to shower, change into a clean uniform, and then sit down to talk with Mark when we were signaled that we had a call. Both of us cursed Dick’s name as we ran to the garage and out the door. It was stifling outside as we stayed in the drive for a moment, listening... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Thirty Two

The Dog Days of Summer Dr. Adams, Judy’s OB doctor, had put her due date on roughly August 26th in the middle of a blistering hot summer. I was incredulous that she kept smiling and working during that kind of heat. I’d never been one for air conditioning, but I bought a slightly used one from my... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Thirty One

Time Marches On Judy became even more radiant as winter turned into spring and summer. Motherhood suited her perfectly; it was easy to see her joy as her belly grew. Of course, she had discomfort, but there are burdens in life that you don’t mind carrying. Her doctor visits continued to be perfect,... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Thirty

‘Momma’s Baby’ Judy’s first obstetrical visit wasn’t until late February, but she had been talking with the doctor she had chosen almost every night at work. I had known this lady for a long time myself, working with her several times when we had imminent deliveries out in the field. She had a sense... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Twenty Nine

Life Becomes Normal Humans are odd in that they are so willing to face massive changes in their lives and accept new habits as if they had been doing them all their lives. That was the case with us after our wedding. We developed our daily patterns within a week of returning to work. Judy worked the... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Twenty Eight

Intermission Before the Next Act As a kid, my father would always tell me these long-winded stories, and I could never figure out why he was telling me those things. Just as he got to the end, he would say to me, *I told you that, so you better understand this.* I didn’t always see the point of his... Sign in to see full entry.
