Twoapenny:
Oh, Bettyanne, I'm so sorry. I've often wondered how you and Bill were getting on. I'm so sorry to read this and hope that you are able to come here whenever you need or want to. I'm so glad you and Bill had each other for so long and that you were able to overcome so many things together. I'm sure you've got a lot of lovely memories and much to share with your children. I'm so sorry for your loss xx
lighter:
I' m sorry you lost your Bill, but glad you were loved and cherished in your life.
It's a special thing to have that.
It will always be yours.
Love isn't a linear thing. It's always with you, (( Bettyanne.))

hour feels like ten.

Bettyanne:
I forgot to add we have six kids........I didn't do things at times that made sense....I was raised Catholic......so the rules were to be followed (my mother was the Catholic one who went to church all the time and treated my childhood family like shit.....I'm sorry to use that word but it fits) She lived to 100 plus 8 months and was always more interested in herself then anything.....
So Bill and I had 4 kids in about 3 years because the religion said no birth control.....well throw that one out the window.......as for sure the church people weren't going to give you a hand neither did my Narc Mother.......but we went on later to 2 more kids.....Life is great how it teaches you in time what you need to learn.
Bill taught at Catholic private boys schools......well there goes another lesson. I need to laugh right now because we were so brain washed by these people too. Today I believe in God but not any religions that want to control you.......actually that was my NM who was a control freak too.
So my life lesson as I see it......that Bill and I loved each other no matter what......we lived through so much of immature parents......my dad who was immature too but he was nice died at 51 and the bitch a 100.......well thet tells a lot.
I am so so grateful that God put Bill in my life and me in his life.......we both helped each other and we saw the truth about both our families.......and it sure was a lesson. I am so grateful for every minute I had with him.........He was so kind and loving to me.......yes the alcoholism was a night mare but we made it through that too.......
I am presently at my youngest daughters and she has Cystic Fibrosis and her fiancé left her 3 weeks ago.....another nightmare brewing .......but I will pray and hopefully at 77 years old says some right words to encourage her on her journey. As my NM said to me your not going to blame CF on me....but it is a gene I inherited......stupid woman. That gives you a little bit of what I dealt with her also my only brother was severely retared with Cerebral Palsy.....I am being sarcastic her I probably caused that one ......omg what an idiot she was. She is only dead 8 years now.
I am grateful for my wonderful husband and my kids.....and to you all for reading this.......I miss my husband Bill and I have learned to much in our 56 year marriage........lots of lessons.......can I laugh now at some of things sure I can......hahahaha
Thank you so much.......Love you all lots......Love, Bettyanne with all my baggage....and life lessons.
Twoapenny:
You must miss him a lot, Betty Anne. I'm glad the two of you were able to work your way through the upbringings and religious influences (I agree, they can be difficult to live under) and raise your lovely family together. I hope the kids are all holding up okay. It's such a shock when someone goes, even when they've been unwell, as Bill was. He was very lucky to have all of you in his life and by his side xx
