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.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Twenty Seven

Home Again The journey home was uneventful despite some slippery roads in the mountains of Tennessee. We weren’t in a hurry and made an occasional stop to see something Judy had spotted on a billboard along the freeway. Most of them were a lot like the old circus ‘freak show’ banners you used to see... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Twenty Six

The Days, They Fly By Quickly The next ten days seemed to disappear, but I still remember them yet today. We spent a day at the new Disney World, covering as much as we could in the day we had set aside for it. The Florida complex was vast compared to the California site. SeaWorld was just down the...

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Twenty Five

You Are Wonderful Tonight Judy and I enjoyed our time, our surroundings, and each other for the next two weeks. We went to the Atlantic over by Jensen Beach and sat on the beach for several hours, watching the waves on their relentless search for the shore. The rise and fall of the water was...

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Twenty Four

Learning About Each Other As much as I worried about Judy having problems with our new intimacy, I think she began to relax and emotionally mature. We spent the next two weeks resting and unpacking our thoughts and burdens. Everyone carries them around, but few people carry as much baggage as the... Sign in to see full entry.
