A need to laugh ......

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bettyanne:
Hmmmm???
OK HOPS
I will be back with a answer

lighter:
Looking forward to it: )

Bettyanne:
Well I thought and thought and couldn't come up with something funny....but it doesn't mean we don't have a sense of humor....
I think from having this NM with Borderline.....life was about trying to defend myself or I was always doing something for her....it was unending to say in the least....
But......
Bill and I have had a great life together....we have always loved each other.....we enjoyed each others company always.
We have tried to be there for each other always
We were not without problems as we both came from Irish mothers who had little to give their family except on their terms.
I think considering all we have been through hell.....and now dealing with cancer we have been very lucky to have had each other...we met when we were 16 and 17...imagine that and we are now 76 and 77 and not giving up..
Doctor has put Bill on Kaytruda which seems to be working.....Bill or Billy as I call him has been feeling better.....
Meghan our youngest of six children  just told us today she will be getting married soon.....yeah....She is with a nice guy named Jared.
She has cystic fibrosis and is a great therapist as well....so so proud of her and Jared too.
These are things that make life worth wild....amazing what love can give you.....
My family never hugged or kissed each other. or said I love you....and Billy and myself have always done that.....
I feel what a gift I was given when I met him as he asked me to his senior dance...in 1960....how about that!!!
I will leave this and say I am hoping this Kaytruda will help Bill and you never know do we???
Thank you friends.....Love, Bettyanne

What a lovely update, Bettyanne.  The Senior dance in 1960!  Wowsers.  Just meant to be, and I'm glad you found each other so soon in life. 

You saved each other and raised great kids together.  You've built a full, and happy life which is a testimony to your resilience, IME.   

I think you're both very special people.

If you can find SCARE TACTICS, with Tracy Morgan as host, you might find it a very funny show.  At least, that's my hope.  You can search single episodes on YouTube if you don't get Netflix or Amazon Prime. 

Laughter is medicine too: )

Bettyanne:
Yes Lighter
We have had a great life together.....we have been there for each other always.....
My Big mistake was being the daughter of a Borderline with Narcissistic traits.....which I had no control over
If I ever get to do something over it would be to separate myself from her....
The abuse and dysfunction was unbelievable
I could write about and it would take me days to explain.....which some I have written in the past on here.
The abuse was beyond belief.....which I am sure I am not alone in knowing this or should I say experiencing this....??
Perhaps It was my biggest lesson in this lifetime......You can never trust or believe what comes out of their mouths!!!
I didn't even have my own bedroom until age 14....before that I slept with my retared brother in the middle and my dad on the other side of the bed.....NM slept in sofa bed in living room.....When I did get my own room NM said she wanted to be my sister and share my room......I said NO
Her mother had her own room......so who the hell would get a two bedroom house or apt for 5 people?? yes I do know NM
Well.....NM is dead 7 years now dying at 100....she never did anything but what she wanted....
I love your words of kindness and cheering.....it sure feels good to me and I want to thank you so so much...
I am so so grateful to have had Bill in my life.....and will do my best for him always.....and my kids.
Something I never knew as a kid....
Life really teaches us a lot.....and for me I will never forget how I was abuse but also I will never abuse anyone....because that's not what life is about.....
It's really about Love.....xoxo
