ON with the story
Ok then, this is after the funeral, we have had a somewhat time to adjust we rested up to go back to mom apartment to sort out things. Oh forgot to tell you my sister's ex husband came to the funeral home(he is the one that molested my now deceased daughter Khristy) needless to say neither me or my remaining son or daughter greeted him matter of fact we all left to go shopping for my funeral dress, as I did not bring one, while he was there. I do blame him in part for the road she went down on with the drugs, I do not hold it against him but I don't have to have anything to do with him either which I chose to do. Anyway back to the packing up and sorting things at Mom's apartment. No sooner than me and brother arrived we had the noisy old neighbor next door knocking on the door asking can she have this and that. She did some good for my mother but mom put up with her because that is the way mom was, very kind and caring person. I can remember a time the week before mom died my mom pretending to be asleep when she came over just to avoid listening to her non stop talking. Thought that was funny.... Anyway told her we didn't have a chance to figure out things as of yet and would let her know. She kept coming over because evidently she didn't like that answer and asking about different things she could have. My mother had a doll collection and had an Indian doll she gave all those to my daughter against my knowledge my sister gave that doll to her. I told my sister that we had already told her she would get some stuff that we didn't want when we was ready to give it to her so what was done was done. My sister gave it to her to shut her up but that did not work at all.We had 2 days to get this all done because mom was payed up until the last of the month and they the apartment owners gave us 2 extra days to do it. We gave most of the stuff to the church as they had a place that gave things to the needed, and kept some plastic containers for each one of us, gave some things to my son, daughter, my sister son and my bother son. Then I went around to the neighbors that my mom was friends with some items I picked out to give them as a memory of her. We loaded up the plastic containers onto my brother in law trailer and hitched it on the back of his truck, my bother left his car for them to use and bring it to the party at his house he was going to have for my birthday. Before we left the manager was there inspecting the apartment , my brother in law was tying down the plastic containers, and the neighbor was trying to get a shepherd's hook out of the ground in the front yard. Pretty much lost it by that point....Pretty much told the neighbor I did not want to see her over there until we have left. After all that we were finally on the road we wanted to get to my brother house before dark it just wasn't meant to be. On the way while driving on the interstate we heard a noise and I looked back some of the plastic containers had come loose and fallen off, so my brother had to drive a little distance to pull over safely which was about a mile from the thrown containers. So we sit there, he told me maybe just let them be, but me of course had a mission to retrieve these containers. So while my brother was trying to figure out how to tied the the rest of the containers better I walked and retrieved as much as I could, by that time traffic had ran over some of the stuff and the wind had blown papers all over the place. Here I come carrying these containers back down to the truck, don't know how in the world I did this with my bad back. We did not get home until around 10:30 that night and was completely wrecked.
The next 2 days we just rested, as I was going to spend some time with my daughter and grandkids. I was going to spend until Friday then my daughter was going to come back with me for my birthday party on saturday, but I could only last 2 nights there dealing with drunks. Not only is her boyfriend an alcoholic but they had a friend living with them that was one also. Both worked at the same place and after work each day they would both buy a 12 pack and drink until they got drunk. I tried to keep away from them as much as I could and spend time with my my daughter and grandkids. All of this brought back so many memories of me being married to my second husband which I remained married to for 18 years. So did have a chance to share with my daughter my experiences and told her whether you love him or not it is not worth putting your kids through this. My son had went back to Ohio and was due to come back saturday for the party. I told my daughter you will leave when your ready and not a moment sooner. She has left him twice in the past and always went back. So Thursday comes around and I told my daughter I really can't put up with this getting drunk every night staying up until all hours I had to go back to my brothers house. She understood and we took off to go to my brothers house on Thursday. I do drink a little have gotten drunk over my years but thank God I am not an alcoholic. Why the women in our family are drawn to them is beyond me. Anyway the birthday party was great only one of my granddaughters came because the other was really too young and my daughter wanted to have fun instead of having to run around after her all the time. Will continue the story later.
