Say, what you doing’ sleeping ? hey half the day is gone
Get a move on Life’s a miracle,
let me tell you why
If you look above you, there are no more stars
Like this one in the sky
Life’s a miracle, we gotta make the most Of the passing moment,
Gotta do our best, there’ll be time enough to rest
Gotta do our best, there’ll be time enough to rest
Tell someone you love them, there’s always a way
And if the dead could speak I know what they would say
To you and me – don’t waste another day
Show someone you love them don’t be scared
And if they fall into your arms you’ll be surprised to find
The weight that you can bear, because
Life’s a miracle, we gotta do our best
Before it’s time to rest
Life’s a miracle – it’s a summer’s day
It’s a passing moment
Enjoy the sky, be a brilliant butterfly !
Tell someone you them, there’s always a way
And if the dead could speak I know what they would say
To you and me – don’t waste another day
Show someone you love them don’t be scared
And if they fall into your arms you’ll be surprised to find
The weight that you can bear, because
Life’s a miracle Life’s a miracle Life’s a miracle ( LIFE’S A MIRACLE – PREFAB SPROUT)
Tina held onto Bette’s arms as she held her. As much as she was in pain she was also aware that she was on the starting line for another huge change in her life- suddenly she was going to be earning huge dollars working for one of the most high profile organisations in the country and she was now one of the executives. There were so many hurdles to overcome but the prize in sight was joining the board of the Peabody Foundation – it was scary as well as exciting. The person who would have understood her fears as well as her hopes and dreams had been her mother – the woman she had been forced to watch waste away in front of her eyes. It hard been painful then and while the pain had lessened – it would never go away.
“Its okay babe – I am here and I am never leaving you “ Bette whispered
“Don’t you ever dare die on me Bette “ Tina said crying
“I won’t “ Bette assured Tina “You know that – I love you and I am fully intending to spend the rest of my life with you my darling “
Tina crumbled — the pain of her mother dying had never really gone – she knew that it never would but in the past few months she had found herself looking to the future with renewed hope and enthusiasm – and that was all down to the beautiful brunette that she shared her life with. Tina dried her eyes and moved round to face Bette.
Bette stroked Tina’s face
“I am going nowhere Kennard “
“Don’t think it “
“I tend not to “ Bette promised her
Tina voiced what she had been thinking “I never thought I would wake up and look forward to a day. I would wake up with a sense of dread and foreboding that there was another few hours to get through where I didn’t have my mom and it hurt so bad “
Bette felt her own tears again – this was so hard for the woman she loved and she was worried that she couldn’t help her.
“But then you walked into The Paramount and I swear I thought I was going to stop breathing. You were just the most beautiful woman I had ever seen and I knew you were a lesbian. I was just thinking how out of my league you were and speculating about what sort of woman got to wake up with some one as hot as you. “ Bette was rubbing the tears away from Tina’s cheeks with her fingers
“I fixed up that date at The Paramount because I knew what you looked like and boy did I like what I saw – yes I wanted to make our folks pay for thinking they could run our lives but I wanted to met you because of how much I fancied you “
“Oh Bette “
“Its okay – its okay to live your life – she wanted that – she wanted you to do great things and she wanted you to laugh and be in love and make plans for your future “ Bette stroked Tina’s hair “I didn’t have the honour of meeting Kate but I know the person she was because I know the person you are. You are so utterly decent and kind – everyone just falls in love with you. I understand mourning her Tina but you also have to honour her to. Honour her by being as fantastic as you are being about Emma and her toy girl -honour her by charming everyone at work and honour her by being with me forever – that’s what your mom would have wanted Tina”

I seem to have done a lot of crying these last weeks and here I go again as I read this lovely post.
Thank you Ally, you have been a favourite writer of mine for a number of years and I have reread your stories quite a few times but to have you posting a new story at this difficult time is a real blessing.
I have been in solo isolation here in the Derbyshire Peaks for eight weeks without seeing family or friends, and, as I am over 70, do not anticipate release any time soon.
BUT I will be staying the xxxx inside and protecting our superb NHS

I always measure the goodness of a story by the emotional impact – tears, laughter, suspense and shock. This one gets this weeks award for best emotional impact. Sweet tears for Tina. I feel her loss and grief. And I feel her gratitude for finding Bette and I feel Bette’s loving support for Tina’s loss and her absolute devotion to the woman she loves.
I bow and pay homage to your writing. Thank you for this chapter. You have been rather prolific with your output, but as an addict of the Tibette world, I always want more.

What a beautiful and very emotional chapter.
You can almost literally feel the pain and loss of Tina.
The songs were so beautiful.
Bette was there for Tina, to support her at such sad day and felt emotional too.
A very good chapter!
Thank you!
