I'm torn on what to post here next. I'm working on a new Vella project that seems to be doing well already which is a series of romance stories. I'll think about this and see what happens tomorrow. V Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Sixty-Six - FINAL ENTRY
Epilogue Toward the end of this story, I couched my words. There are many memories I want to relive by writing them here, but there are also memories best left to my wife and me. For the story’s purposes, there is nothing more to be gained (that the reader has not already read) by a detailed... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Sixty-Five
And The Rest is Silence From the time I started this story, I kept asking myself how I would end it. Knowing the nearly inevitable path of patients with dementia, you can figure out where this story will end or has ended. I don’t care to recall or relive any part of that projected ending. I’ll leave... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Sixty-Four
The Long and Winding Road For several months, Judy was much more like the woman I had known all of our time together. We held hands and kissed as we had always done and said our three words at every parting. It was a wondrous time for us, but then she changed again. We would talk, and she would...

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Sixty-Three
The paper had the number of the ‘attorney’ allegedly representing my wife, and I started calling it as soon as I was out of the hospital. Over the next five hours, I called that number at least twenty-five times, leaving a message that I wanted to speak at the hearing on behalf of my wife. He never... Sign in to see full entry.

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.
