    Chapter 34 – New Haven to Redondo Beach

    Tina:  Well, that’s good. Oh, here comes our food.

    Daniel returned to the table looking a little more refreshed and quickly dug into his food. They were on the road again and headed for the airport. Bette found a gasoline station and filled up the SUV and then took the family to the drop off curb for United Airlines. Tina had all the luggage removed from the SUV and put on a cart and went inside the airport. Bette drove the SUV to the rental drop off, wrote down the mileage and gasoline level and then went and turned in the keys and rental agreement to the agent. She then headed for the ticket counters to meet her family. Mary took her luggage to a counter and got her ticket and check her bag to Phoenix. Bette, Tina and Daniel went to a separate counter and received their boarding passes to Los Angeles. Free of the luggage, they proceeded though security checks and on to the boarding gates. Mary’s gate was about 3 gates away from the rest of the family. And they were a little early for their flights. To Bette’s surprise, the airport was moderately busy, but many travelers would not do their holiday travel until Monday.  Bette suggested that they go have some tea until it was time to proceed to their gate.

    Bette:  Mom, you know, we can change your reservations and take you home with us if you would like.

    Mary:  I know sweetie. But I need to get home and get started with my own future. I’m going to be moving to the Los Angeles area and I need to get my house ready to sell. I need to contact the FBI and see if they want to buy the house in that I agreed to give them the first right of refusal when they gave me the house. Actually, I think they got the place from a drug dealer. They confiscated the place when they convicted him of drug trafficking. The first right of refusal is so if they have another someone they need to put into hiding, they have a place for them. But they can decide they don’t want it also. And I can just put it on the market.

    1. I hope I’m reading this story years into the future. Bette and Tina as grandparents, three generations living together, where Daniel will go to college, the scenarios are endless. Thanks for your dedication, Martha.

    2. Fans,
      Thank you for commenting. There are only a few more chapters in this Volume. I have completed a Volume 3 of this series … and will continue to publish on a regular basis. This volume starts to address the raising of a boy and the onset of puberty and adolescence. These are the challenging years in a persons life and even more so for the parents going through it with them. Now that Angie is away at Yale, she doesn’t have much of a role in my stories until she returns home.

      I know that this is not the normal fan fiction. But what I want to show is how important communication is between Bette and Tina. I want to show how important it is for parents to communicate with their children and how important it is to realize that the objective is raise children to be independent, healthy, happy individuals. And so much goes into that. To have a child go from childhood to adulthood is difficult for parents… probably more difficult than the child themselves will ever realize. To come to the realization that you (as a parent) will not be there to give just the right advice and to object to the wrong decision is a tough bridge to cross. That has been a subplot of most of this story… I hope that has come across in my writing. Bette and Tina are strong parents but its not because they hold tight reigns on their children. Angie and Daniel are unique individuals… at least they are in my story.

      Thanks for reading and commenting… stay tuned for more…

      • I alway shook my head while watching the parents of my kids’ friends hold a tight reign and made choices for them which nearly always backfired. Made for quite the lesson in our household.
