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.

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.

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

I’m Sorry Things had calmed down, and Judy had returned to work after her mandatory eight-week maternity leave. I sensed she wasn’t quite ready, so I requested and the additional four-week vacation days from her accrued time off. It seemed to have made things better, and I was happy. Our romance had...

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

A Knock On The Door The next ten months found Judy back to her usual confident self 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 young... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Fifty

The next four days were as if we had picked up right from the day before my shooting. Then came the telephone call at 3 AM. It was the hospital supervisor asking me to come in to pick up Judy from work. When I asked if she was sick, the woman told me, “I think she has had a nervous breakdown.” I got...

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

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 - Chapter Forty-Eight

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.
