bobby took the call. it was robin at the orlando airport. it was two days before christmas and she just wanted to surprise s.
s. was at a party with linda. bobby called and said he'd pick up robin and bring her home. s. had to think fast. it was decided that linda would pretend to be bobby's girlfriend. gin was gone by that time so it could work.
the next couple of days s. juggled the two women awkwardly. finally, robin found out. a slip of the tongue and his cover was blown. robin and s. had a long talk. linda and s. had a long talk. robin and s. made love in the tall grass in the moonlight. she forgave him. she would go back to the storefront apartment on suffolk street and await his return in february… maybe march; one more art festival to finance the move.
one day linda announced that she had a miscarriage in the bathroom and had flushed it down the toilet. bobby didn't believe her story. s. believed her at first but finally came to the conclusion that she had never been pregnant at all. apparently her sister had just married a fine young man and linda wanted the same flurry of attention from her father.
dearest ladies and gentlemen sitting far away in place and time do not judge s. too harshly for his carefree attitude. s. possessed a sterling character and would never take advantage of anyone for mercenary reasons. when six months after their marriage, the divorce papers reached s. in new york he could have held up mr. t. for many thousands of dollars to release linda from her contract. instead he just signed the papers which of necessity contained lies to make the divorce pass judgement.
according to this document pleading mental cruelty, s. would often leave the house in the evening. when his wife, queried, "where are you going?", s. would answer, "none of your business." s. hated to sign, but since he knew, and linda knew, that none of it was true, he signed to release her from any obligation to him.
the firebird is caged
beneath my breastplate
it's a hydrogen bomb
and inflates my ribs
love activates me
it goads me…
encouraged
to do wonderful things
i am grateful for this life.
right on meli :heart: i know how you like to be in the right mood… relaxed, receptive and without distractions. 😎
:heart: I just wanted to say I was here, and I am going to enjoy this tonight !*notepad and pencil for question list* ready too! :lol:thanks meli,I know I will be envious again of your amazing "soul feedom "
A nice continuation of s.'s life story. I'm enjoying it very much. Hmmmm….so she faked her pregnancy to get married. Well I remember that happening a lot in high school. Only you didn't hear about it till after the fact. I've always believed things happen for a reason. It just takes so long to figure out what those reasons were.
some things happen for a reason. i agree. some things are accidental and just part of the necessary chaos. so glad you are following… it makes it more fun to write when i know there are readers. :heart:
a great lesson for s. A life lesson.However the end of it was a blessing,seeone draws attention due to lack of faith,not to others but to self. She would have never made you happy meli. She wasn't happy herself 😦 A young lost soul…P.S. I love the first picture! :heart:
the picture was never seen beforeyou can trust me on this one :)I wonder what the father's reaction was on his daughters lie…or maybe he never found out the truth
yeah, that's true meli. :heart: some fall by the wayside.sometimes i have a little trouble wondering if i have posted a picture already. there's no way i'm going to search through all my posts to make sure. but you verify that it is a fresh one. thanks for commenting.
good question. i have no idea if she is even still here on the earth.she was very bright and i did like her an awful lot. we all learn as we go along. my only reserve to that… do we learn for good, or is it just temporary and everyone reverts to their own mechanical bent. i would like to believe that we grow in consciousness and recognize pitfalls before we fall into them again. i am sure it's possible but i am also sure that it takes an awful lot of pondering to get it right. there are so many influences to put us to sleep. i wish linda well, and would love to meet her again and compare notes. :heart:
I hope Linda did learn a lesson out of it too… I wonder how she will feel if she ever did read this ..What are the odds?
no, he was a very smart man and very grounded. he would have found out the truth right from the 'horse's mouth'. i don't envy linda having to go through that grilling. i liked mr. t. very much. he was an 'accomplished' man. and no doubt if this turned out differently and i was his son-in-law for more time i am sure i would have learned some very important life lessons from him.
