I’ve just returned from the Great Barrier Reef, one of the most beautiful reefs I have ever had the opportunity to dive, making being able to dive it for work priceless. Literally, it cost me nothing and I gained beauty, distance, hope and momentary immortality.
No one was happy that I left, even if Shane did understand. They wanted me in bed, relaxing from my bout of pneumonia, but that wasn’t me. When I told them that I was planning to go back to work the conversation came to a close quickly. Kit ripped into me, accusing me of being selfish and many more unthinkable names, before storming out. Alice, she was hurt and lashed up similarly, but it didn’t smart as much as my sisters words did. As much as Dana’s silent, and emotional disapproval did.
The only one who seemed to understand was Shane. She knew that I couldn’t lay around waiting to be ‘better’, as defined by our family – not the medical professionals. The hug she gave me that night was to comfort and support, and she whispered in my ear, “Don’t worry B, I’ll talk to them.” I’m not sure what meant more, the hug or the fact that Shane was going to bat for me.
Unfortunately before I left Kit didn’t come around, she was still angry at me. Still accusing me of abandoning everyone. I don’t know how to explain to her that no matter how much I love her, love them all, I need to travel. To experience. To live.
Now that I am home I am sure that Kit and I can start to talk again. I love my sister too much to loose her over this, and she loves me so much that she couldn’t help but be angry. Where there is love, there is hope and forgiveness.
The flight was long, but enjoyable enough. There was a child beside me, and for the first time she was going to Disneyland and she was so excited to see Goofy. I asked her about Mickey which prompted her to launch into a long diatribe about the evils of the cartoon mouse. I didn’t think that someone, let alone a child, could be so offended by Mickey – but I was obviously wrong.

Hello My Beautiful Dee… I’m sitting here think you must be so sick and tired of seeing my name… you roll your eyes going what the heck does he want shesh… LMAO… I completely love this; “One day I think I might marry me bed, it’s always good to me, holds me in it’s arms every night I am home, it’s soft in all the right places and it is the most comforting and secure presence that I have every had in my bedroom.” that is so very true… hehe… to swim and float and just be in the reef it is such a relaxation to behold… I love how you internalize Bette’s thinking just how she thinks and reacts to the environments around her… I still have a feeling that there is something wrong with Bette she is so easy to deflect the concerns of her health and yes I can so understand the nagging but there is something more going on… isn’t it weird how the art of proper conversation is seemingly disappearing… there is a certain abruptness to how we as a society talk to one another… that is an interesting observation you have brought in there… hehe… well my most beautiful friend… hope all is well with you and, love and hugs, Always and Forever, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and ever loving Cuzzie to the ever talented Eunichick)
Another great chapter. I’m still not sure that Bette is totally in the clear were her health in concerned. Seems as though there is some underlying health issue there. Can’t wait for another chapter of this story as well as your other.
Deann, I didn’t realize that you had injured your elbow so badly.did you fracture it? I am so sorry you are still in pain and I hope you feel better soon. Now about this story, something is going on with Bette, and all the alluding is just too weird! Why would people be angry that Bette went to Australia, after she recovered from the pneumonia? why do her friends and Kit care so much and have such an opinion about how Bette lives her life…unless they know she is really sick, and want her to spend every minute with them. If so though, that is selfish of them, if it’s not what she wants to do. I ask again, between you and euni, Bette ain’t safe!! I shall trust you in regard to Tina, I am trusting you!
You Ladies all seems to be picking on Bette. eating disorder,broken legs Hiv,cut on her arm, there is something else beside this. Love each story tho, Her health here doesn’t seem good. Just dont kill her off. thanks
Nicely updated im liking this character of Bette and Helena it seems theyre really close.Bette is an observer and fundamentally knows all of her friends inside out.She just wants alittle more freedom and not so much perstering even if it is because they care she knows this.Cant wait for more
Hi, sweet Deean! We are enjoying how you are developing the story and adding some new elements to it. It’s getting more and more interesting. You are making our reading more addictive. Hahaha Thanks for sharing that talent of yours with us. PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks.- Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
Enjoyed the update but, is Bette still ill with something that is making her lose weight. She seems to think so from her surmising when Kit was talking about fattening her up. Wondering if we will have that almighty spark between our girls as they work togethr or is this a lost cause? Can hardly wait until they start working together more frequently. PPS
