I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Sixty-Two

The Final Time I hoped that after a day or so that Judy would snap out of the emotional coma that had engulfed her, but it didn’t happen. She realized who I was, but she didn’t respond as my wife had always responded to me. I would talk to, hold, hug, and tell her I loved her, but she had very... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Sixty-One

The Beginning of the End It took several days for both of us to realize what had happened. For a short period, Judy was much more like her former self. I’m not sure what I was, but ‘nervous wreck’ was probably the most apt description. She saw herself as free from the worry of hurting someone, and I... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Sixty

Slowly I Turn On the surface, Judy’s return to work seemed to be seamless. But just as most people didn’t see the changes going on before, they weren’t seeing what was happening behind the scenes. The woman who had always been the sweetest thing I had ever known was becoming foul-mouthed and... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Fifty-Nine

In over forty-one years, Judy and I had never been apart more than a few days. We had always been there to support one another, kiss, hold hands, and just talk. For reasons that escape me, I elected to stay in Florida for something I could have done in Michigan, but I elected to stay in Florida. She... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Fifty-Eight

So Many Miles And So Little Time As it turned out, leaving earlier than we had initially planned saved Judy’s job. Making the run north to US-10 was an easy run, and we were soon westbound on US-10. We had been running in smooth traffic until we hit a massive accident just east of New Orleans,... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Fifty-Seven

When the call to move to Ocala came three months later, I was dismayed that we had to leave, but we were gone in a matter of days. No disrespect to Ocala readers, but I never got to like the town. The neighborhood we were in was extremely loud with parties and the squealing of car tires. I didn’t go... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Fifty-Six

And Travel We Did! I had a friend take care of our home while we were gone. I initially thought that we would be nomads for a year, maybe three tops. When it was over, Judy worked as a ‘traveler’ for eight years. We were into adventures, and her new job provided those. We met many people, some very... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Fifty Five

A Change of Scenery Somewhere in late 2004, small hometown hospitals began to be bought up by their bigger brethren. At first, this practice was a good thing for the citizens of those small medical centers, allowing more big-town specialists to make once-a-week or month visits to the boondocks....

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Fifty-Four

There Was Blood All Over I watched Judy for a delayed response to my Father's death, but nothing happened. In fact, over the next five years, she only had one 'bad spell.' Our daughter was out of high school, and our son was a junior. Everything had been going along as best as anyone's life could be... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Fifty-Three

A Return to Normal Over the next fourteen years, our lives stayed trouble-free, and thus things became routine. Judy had regained her emotional footing and was doing very well at work. She became the department supervisor and did an outstanding job in writing and updating department policies and... Sign in to see full entry.
