OMG SkepiKal and Hops......that means so much to me.......thank you for your replies......so so kind of you....
I think Hops a musical couldn't have said it better......Like when we thought Bill was cured from the cancer but it was only a small part or large how ever to express it......No the cancer didn't go away but the Bill I loved still loved me right to the end......I was so so lucky to have had him as my friend, my best friend and of course my Husband.
My family as a kid was so dysfunctional and uneducated to say in the least....screaming and yelling was a daily thing by my grandmother and mother. They seem like they were never happy and if you could believe a poor boy who had cerebral palsy but of course my mother was never to blame for anything.......nothing nothing nothing...she is dead 8 years now........over 100 she lived. I wonder if God let her live this long to see if anything would ever change.......but it didn't right until the end. I was so confused as a kid ......I was in Catholic schools for 12 years.......Honor they father and thy mother.......what they didn't say is even if they were mean to you and had no idea what the Hell they were doing......including grandmother??
But maybe it taught me a big painful lesson.......I didn't need to do that to my husband or my six kids....I know I wasn't the best but I sure tried to do better. What else can we all do when we get dysfunction as a kid......we can duplicate it or try to do better......I know the answer now better then I was young.......I should have gotten away from them and never looked back. But that didn't happen.
So the Musical ended eventually but it sure was out of tune HOPS......the notes didn't sound so good but I made it......my husband was part of that loving me .......in a way I had never experienced as a kid, and I loved him back......we helped each other and always did.......that was the applause......Hops. and SkepiKal the tears came when Bill passed.....because I knew what true love was.....we had our problems too coming from these two families so messed up.....but Bill and I loved each other and always did......and we loved our six kids so much too.
I am starting to see how its not who are parents that count its who we each are.....how we see love even if we were hurt by our parents......WE don't have to duplicate them....we can start a new....Hops and SkepiKcal.....it will take some more crying but that's ok......God or our higher power what ever?? Being kind and loving is a priceless gift we can give each other.....
Thanks...Bettyanne
Hopalong:
Hi again Bettyanne--
Let's talk about this more on one of the threads you started.
I got so caught up in the music comparison I forgot I was in the
Coronavirus thread!
Talk to you again soon, on any Bettyanne thread you like.
Big hugs,
Hops
Bettyanne:
With this Virus which is safer to do?
Take a plane?
or
Take a train?
Thanks,
Bettyanne
Hopalong:
I would think train, Bettyanne.
(Plus I love them way more anyway.)
Because you can get fresh air between cars, is my main reason.
They're not sealed up the way airplanes are.
No scientific proof here, just a hunch. (Now I want to go Google it.)
Okay, here's the answer!

Let me know if you can read that article.

Hopalong:
Hey ((((Posh)))) --
Really good to hear from you.
I agree that Russian Roulette is a very perceptive (chilling) term for it.
How are you doing? I hope you are feeling safe, generally. And enduring the isolation with mind intact. It FEELS endless, but it isn't. Really isn't. It's just a thing. A random thing everybody's got to suck up to and endure....
It's a real challenge BUT I think people will come out stronger on the other side.
hugs
Hops
