Did not do proper care for me while pregnant, didn't find out I was carrying two babies til a doctor came from Iowa City, two weeks before delivery. Went back recently to get a pap, and the doctor there couldn't get it, took up to 4 speculums. I told them everything, I'm going thru menopause, no offer of estrogen, or any kind of pill, told her I'm having pain from fibroid cysts in my uterus. Nothing, ignored. This place should be shut down!!
the greatest thing, all that, all those years, all those driving 3 hours to get there, was Beth got to meet so many different people. idk though, times she'd come home emaciated. she knew it too.
ReplyDelete5 years old on Luke's shoulders, didn't even want to see you when you came to pick her up. gave her, at young age, wings to fly.
ReplyDeletescrewed up though, at age 8 or 9, didn't write one letter to her, neighter did my mom, I was busy fighting for justice, she wanted it too, she may have had pangs. coming home on street on Boone, pulled over, pulled her out, got down on my knees and hugged her for a long time. we were both bawling.
ReplyDeleteShe's gonna make mistakes too, Sheri. She will. it's part of life.
ReplyDeleteThere were kids. lots thru all of this.
