    Chapter 3 – Philadelphia – Day 2

    Bette: How old were we when we met?

    Tina:  I was twenty-five and you were thirty-one years old. And we had Angie when we were thirty-three and thirty-nine. We adopted Daniel when I was forty and you were forty-seven. You just turned forty-seven. Your birthday is in December and Daniel was born on the ides of March. I was born in May and Angie in August. And our anniversary is in October.

    Bette: And I am fifty-six now and you are fifty?

    Tina:  That would be correct. And we have been together, give or take a couple of years for 25 years. And it seems like just yesterday that we were going out with the girls on Saturday night for drinks and dancing.

    Bette:  And except for this summer at the bar at the pier in Redondo Beach, we have not gone out dancing very much in recent years.

    Tina:  We danced at every film project closing party and every wedding we ever attend. And I know you have not forgotten how. I have seen that with my own eyes.

    Bette: All I can say is, thank goodness we out grew that stage where we thought you had to go out and drink and party to have a good time.

    Tina:  Yes, well, children will do that to you.

    Bette:  I wouldn’t trade all those Friday and Saturday nights with Daniel and Angie for all the partying we missed for anything in the world. There are two things that have made me so very happy. The first was marrying you and the second is our children and being a mom. I do not believe that without either of these that my life could be any happier.

    Tina: I believe you are right. I agree with you. My profession in the film industry was gratifying in a way… but it could never have been a substitute for you, Angie and Daniel. Thankyou Bette for finding me and wanting me. Happy Anniversary.

    Bette:  Happy Anniversary for both our eleventh year of marriage and our twenty fifth year as partners and lovers.

    1. Martha,

      I’m so glad you are continuing this story.
      These chapters have been so informative and interesting about Melvin and how he thought and carried on his life.
      How sad he never found the right way to be a loving father and show his feelings. I guess it his day, that was the norm, for men being the head of a family and being more a provider and the mother the more loving parent. Thank goodness those days have gone and family life is so much more open and caring.
      I love how supportive Tina is, never far from Bette with a kiss or hug. I’m only half way through ch 2 but just wanted to jot something down. Will reply again at the end! Thoroughly enjoying it , so please you’ve explained this about Melvin ! So well written and informative.
