Feelin’ The Same Way
As I sit by the pool, dangling my feet and the bottom of my legs in the cool water I sit back and think about all the memories that have been created in this house. All the laughter and good times that Bette and I have shared, not just with each other but with all of our friends, and most importantly with our daughter. It barely seems conceivable that we’re still here, and now even though I don’t know where the time has gone, tomorrow the three of us are going to the east coast to install Angelica in her college dorm.
There’s plenty of sadness that goes with that. I remember when she was the only thing that I thought I was living for. After I left Henry Angelica was my whole world. I only went to work because it paid the bills and put food in our mouths. I know that Helena let me coast through about six months of inactivity and then one day Bette called me. Asking me to meet her, the rest, as they say is history. After an afternoon spent in bed realising that we couldn’t live without each other, I was back in the house that we shared and haven’t left since. All of this must be playing out on my face because Angelica swims across to me, resting her arms on the side of the pool.
“You OK?”
“I’m going to miss you, so much.” I say, smiling into those deep brown eyes.
“I’m going to miss you too, and mama. But it’s time for me to go and see what the big bad world is all about.”
“I know, it’s just hard to let you go, and I can’t believe I let your mother talk me into letting you go so far away.”
Angelica’s choice of college caused a few late night discussions. Bette was dead set on her going to Yale. I don’t know why I was surprised by this. Bette, no matter how much she would like to deny it, has a strong sense of tradition, and to her there was no other option that Angel should go to her Ivy League alma mater. I wanted her to go somewhere closer, somewhere in California. In the end we decided that it should be Angelica’s choice, and that we shouldn’t try to influence her, well at least not too much.

Empty Nest will set in and the crying for Angie will be so hard on both Moms . So funny and cute love it/ thanks
Excellent!
Amazing and love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice
Very nice. And I’m blushing at the reference. Thanks, cg.
ROFL This dialogue was too cute and funny! LOVED the tiff_duke “Chandelier” references too. I remember when I went off to college my mom said that when she and dad were driving back home it felt like I had died. I know that’s a pretty dramatic way of putting it, but it’s bound to feel that way to parents who only had 1 child. I think this will hit Bette harder than she’s willing to let on especially after having to work her ass off to get Tina back before the Henry fiasco happened. It didn’t look like you only spent an hour or less on this. =)
This is such a sweet and cute piece. Just love it! Great job.
a few bumps in the road for sure…nice job!
So you are a fan of Star Wars, and Pat Benetar. Remember we must not diss David Bowie or we may be kicked out of the room. This is so cute and very loving. You get to see how happy both Bette and Tina are and how much they love their daughter. Angelica is every bit like her mother’s. I hope that you will continue with this. At least I know that Bette and Tina are together.
Well girl, that was good, a nice variation on the theme. Despite the sadness of the impending seperation, the couple had a nice, easy, sweet way about them. Man, Pat Benetar! That sure conjures a particular time.
cool
This was very sweet. Those three make quite the combo plus one. Thanks.
So glad you decided to post this story, thank you for sharing with us. I hope Ilene is reading and taking notes for the next season.
Love the grown-up Angelica and her mothers reminiscing. The B&T story, even as a vintage saga, holds as much power as ever. Thanks for ‘knocking up the happy fluff’!
Very Sweet! My favorite line: “And then the thing with the earring happened.” shouts Angelica, and I’m quite sure they heard her in the next street. ….. Thanks for the great post!
Sweet. Thank you.
You took every detail from their first meeting and made it so memoriable. Thank you
Absolutely loved this. It was light and fluffy like a wonderful pie crust… and it came with just enough filling and sweet but not TOO sweet. Thanks so much.
