Time Marches On As winter turned to spring and eventually summer, Judy became even more radiant. Motherhood suited her perfectly, and 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... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Forty-Five
‘Momma’s Baby’ Judy’s first obstetrical visit wasn’t until late February, but she had been talking with the doctor that 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... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Forty-Four
Life Becomes Normal Humans are odd in how they are so willing to face massive changes in their lives and accept new habits as if they had been doing it all of their life. 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 - Chapter Forty-Three
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 - Chapter Forty-Two
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 just 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...

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Chapter Forty-One
The Days, They Fly By Quickly The next ten days seemed just to disappear, but I 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. Sea World was just down the...

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

I Remember Judy - Chapter Thirty-Nine
Learning About Each Other As much as I worried about Judy having problems with our new intimacy, I think she had begun to relax and emotionally matured. 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... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Chapter Thirty-Eight
Heading South The next morning, we awakened almost at precisely the same time. The weather had warmed during the night, and some of the snow was melting away. We made some coffee, and I loaded our luggage into the car while Judy showered. When she was out, I took a shower while she made sure that I... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Chapter Thirty-Seven
Of Toasts and Dances As we got into Steve’s car and headed toward the reception, the snow fell a little faster, giving me hope that we would be home that evening at a decent hour. Our honeymoon plans were to leave home at about nine in the morning to be in Kissimmee, Florida, at about noon the next... Sign in to see full entry.
