“Puppy Love”
Earlier in this story, I shared the struggle of coping with a horrible, life-threatening cancer. Because of fantastic and professional treatment with phenomenal oncologists at a well-known regional cancer clinic, <a href=http://www.westclinic.com > cancer clinic </a> I am still alive and at that time I was in a tremendous fight for my very life. For my husband, it would have been easier had I died. No, not at the time and that is rather melodramatic, but it’s what I felt at times.
I am not saying that as an overly dramatic sentiment. Truly, it would have been easier for him. He would have been set free much earlier. Then, he could have taken my children to be raised by relatives, and he would have a reason everyone understood to be without a wife. He would have received sympathetic assistance and been elevated to martyrdom. At one time, I recall telling him that I was sorry I had inconvenienced him so greatly by living!
As a true Gift from God, I underwent a rare second surgery and in September of 1999, life was looking good. In fact, the loyal-in-name-only husband told me that when I left the treatment center with a wonderful outlook and a miraculous report of “all clear,” it was the happiest day of his life. I thought it was because we could start our life again with good health all around.
Again, I was wrong. He was happy because he was planning now to leave me. Now, without my knowledge at all, he began stealing money from our joint checking account and depositing it into an account of his own.
In January of 2000, he gave me a puppy <a href=http://www.maltese.com > dog </a> and never slept in my bed again. Two months later, he uttered the fateful words, “I have an apartment.”
HERE IS A SLEEP TIP:
If your bed seems empty without him, DO NOT RUSH to invite another man into his place. Instead RUSH to the Linen Sales!
