  • 10 things you may not know about me...

    1.) My first name means "Seven," among other things.
    2.) My second name is most often a boy's name, although mine is spelled differently.
    3.) My last name is Hispanic, from my second husband, and there are less than 700 people in the US with my last name.
    4.) A stage performer once asked my name, and after I told him, he said, "What's your real name?" lol!
    5.) I've been married and divorced twice.
    6.) After knowing my husbands-to-be for 3 days, I told each of them, "You don't know this yet, but you're going to marry me." (#1 was terrified, #2 laughed)
    7.) My first husband is my son's father. He lives in Texas with a woman who could be my cousin (she once could have passed for my sister, but age hasn't been as kind to her hahaha!)
    8.) My second husband died nearly 5 years ago of an overdose. He was 38.
    9.) When I was still with Hubby #2, I told him his lifestyle was killing him, and I wasn't going to be around to watch it happen. It did, and I wasn't.
    10.)We'd been divorced 2.5 years, when Hubby #2 died. He still visits from time to time.

    The anniversary of Mark's death is May 2. When I think of that, I'm reminded that I need to pay a visit to his 2 mom's...the one who bore him and the one who adopted and reared him (who's also his grandmother). To them, I'm family...and a link to Mark (I finally figured that out...duh). Mark's grandmother cries when she and I are alone, and I let her...I help her. She's already seen her husband and another of her sons off, to the other side, and she misses them soooo much. Her health has been failing for years, and I'm always there to comfort her. I let her know her men are waiting for her...they are just arm's length away...and as soon as she tires of this life, they will be there to greet her. She's told me she can still hear them in the house...they way they'd walk across her floors, their voices in her ear. She's always soothed and tormented by their visits because she misses them so much. She doesn't let her kids know how much she's in pain because they'd worry about her more, but it's okay when I'm there. I understand. For that reason, I do visit her, although not as often since her health has worsened. I know I'm a physical reminder of Mark, which is both good and bad for her.

    I know when to see her.

    It'll be soon, again.

    I love you...GFW
