I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Four

Our First Real Date Several weeks passed with our dates of teaching first aid classes or making runs to a local restaurant. Steve and I talked about attending a large local county fair, and Judy asked where it was held. We were both amazed that she had never heard of it, but we also conceded that...

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Three

Moving Forward When we left McDonald’s, Judy and I agreed to ‘ get together’ as soon as possible. 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. Our shifts wouldn’t line up all... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Two

A Quick Note A beta reader asked me how we could always giggle, laugh, and kiss because *No one does that!* I beg to differ, my friend. We were young, in love, and in jobs that saw daily trauma, life, and death. We witnessed ‘crimes against humanity’ in the form of murder and abuses against... Sign in to see full entry.

Love Through The Ages - Part Twenty-Three (Finale)

The Last Night In the oncoming staff patient report, Georgie listened as the CNA who had cared for Gladys during the afternoon. She said that while she wasn’t a nurse, she thought the patient was slipping badly. “I don’t think she will make it through the night. Her breathing is labored, and her... Sign in to see full entry.

Love Through The Ages - Part Twenty-Two

Fine Details Georgie had to answer a patient’s bell, and Bill put his arms on his wife’s bed and sobbed. He knew she was dying. He’d known it for a year, but when the weeks and days became days and then hours, the reality of losing her was hitting him hard. Those long walks they had taken in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Love Through The Ages - Part Twenty-One

The Unthinkable Gets Worse A small buzzing sound stopped their conversation. Georgie reached into her pocket and pulled out a beeper. A frown crossed her face, and she mumbled about having to leave for a moment. The old man nodded to her, and she excused herself from the room. A small trail of tears... Sign in to see full entry.

Love Through The Ages - Part Twenty

The Unthinkable Bill’s words were soft as he began to speak, but he mustered his strength, and it was easier to hear his story. “Melissa Dawn was born on March 7th, 1955, just fifteen months after William. We called her ‘Missy’ almost from the time she was born. Billy had been a fussy baby, but... Sign in to see full entry.

Love Through The Ages - Part Nineteen

Two Days Later Without her knowledge, the midnight shift supervisor had switched Georgie’s next night shifts around. She gave her the next day off and scheduled her for the day she previously had off. As she finally made her way to the end of the hall, she found Bill sleeping in his chair next to...

Love Through The Ages - Part Eighteen

3:42 AM Georgie returned five minutes later with two Styrofoam cups of steaming coffee. She sat one down in front of the old man and sat down with the other cup. Bill smiled when he saw the words ‘sweet & blonde’ on the lid. The girl had a sense of humor about her, and he liked that. He took the... Sign in to see full entry.
