Tasha laughed again, “No, it’s not a date. I meant it like…if you need someone to talk to…someone who can relate so to speak. Just give me a call.”
I ran my fingers through my hair, wanting to hide my embarrassment, “Sheesh, and here I am assuming…”
We laughed, looking at each other, “So call me, alright?” she said.
“I will,” I replied.
“I’ll see you, Helena.”
I watched her walk out of the shop before I looked down at the card she had given me. Tasha Williams. Maybe I might just give her call. Talking to someone who had gone through what I’m going through might be enlightening.
It’s just coffee, right? I doubt it would hurt.

I heard her voice from somewhere far away, a bright light shone from behind her as she called out my name. I wanted to run towards her but I was rooted to the ground. I stretched out my arms, trying so desperately to catch her. But she kept running, laughing that laugh I knew so well. Her eyes were sparkling with joy.
“Bette,” I called out, “Where are you going? Don’t leave me here.”
She turned around, smiling at me, and kept running.
Suddenly, everything went black and I was falling, tumbling into an unfamiliar abyss.
“No!” I screamed, “Nooo!”
I jumped out of bed, the blanket was twisted around me, and my forehead was covered with cold perspiration. I tried to catch my breath as I ran my fingers through my long hair.
I realize that I had left my bedroom windows open, the curtains were billowing in the soft breeze. I got up and walked towards the moonlit opening, pulling the glass panels shut. I looked up at the full moon, before turning back towards my bed. My eyes flit across a photograph of Bette and I; I picked it up, looking at it, the feeling of melancholy washing over me again.
“Bette,” I whispered, “I miss you, oh gawd, I miss you.”
Her smiling image just starred back at me blankly as I placed the photo frame back in its place and curled up into bed.
Her presence was still a part of every little bit of my life, like a haunting tune that seemed to echo through the corners. I clutched onto my heart, willing myself not to cry as I fell back into an uneasy sleep.

Hello My Beautiful Dragonfly… OMG did Bette do it… did she send Helena a gift before she passed in order to help Helena move on and realize she never stopped loving her… I think that is what this is… is it huh is it… love and hugs, Always and forever, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and the ever loving Cuzzie to the ever talented Eunichick, the sweetest of the sweets patpez and Personal Fanner to the Incredibly Talent Deean)
Holy Shit! That was some reaction! Is JC right? Sounds more than plausible…but…wow…talk about hearing a ghost! Would Bette really do that? Can’t wait to find out! Always a pleasure to read your words…makes my day! Thanks, euni :) PPS, eh?
OMG,it’s not Bette is it? This is scary OMG. Hope Helena willlisten toitbecause it could only be Bette who knew that she will not be there for her birthday. Helena needs to listen to wie words Bette said. I still hurt, I ope Becky will remember her motherand how she loved her. PPVS
It’s gotta be Bette…she had to have left it for Helena to help her through her b-day. Becky will remember her mother…my niece was almost 2 when my grandmother, her great grandmother, passed away. She had spent every day with my mom helping with my grandmother…she had dementia and cancer. She still after 8 months says “I used to take a shower with Mammaw in here.” and always looks for her lipstick in the bathroom drawer. So Becky will remember her Mamma B. Little kids will surprise you like that. They remember lots you don’t think they do.
Oh gosh what was on the ipod was it something that reminds her of Bette? Who sent it?
Now this is an unexpected twist – hmmm — my guess is that it is from Tina. There is something between those two that is more than friendship. I just don’t think Helena’s realized it yet.
I also think Bette arranged for Helena to get this special presenton her 40th B-day and I understand Hl’s reaction very well, she must think this is some kind of sick joke. Hopefully she will bring herself to listen to it and realize once more how much Bette loved her. Great update eunibaby :)PS I’m doing ok, I guess
Hiya Cuz, what a chapter this was, Helena finally spoke with Tasha and she helped her out how and what she went thru when Leisha passed away. Thank goodness for her friends to help her and especially her daughter. Now I am thinking that Bette was the one who sent her the Ipod for her b-day. IMO she knew that she was dying and planned ahead, actually my later Uncle did that he planned for a year so that my Aunt would have things sent to her on b-day,anniversary, xmas and well you get what I am saying. Now I wonder what was the song or message that was on the iPod? Great chapter Prima ;)
Great update! I hope this is a message from Bette. Helena needs to know that she was loved by that woman. And she would not have left her or their daughter if she had a choice. She has to listen if she wish to move on. She owes Bette that. Love has no limits. Even in death it will live on.
Wow Euni, these chappies have been incredibly emotional but completely fantastic!!!! You have me on the edge of my seat woman. POST SOON!
A voice from the past.My husband voice is still on the answering machine, Wouldnt take a million dollars for it. We have an old 8mm film with him sitting on the hearth on Christmas eve reading the Night Before Christmas and my four boy sitting on the floor looking and listening. So children do remember.much more that you know. I do believe that if you are around some one for a long time,for yrs you pick up traits for that person, Like the baby doing thing like Bette, so do adults Tina was their friends for yrs so she could pick up on things that Bette said or did. I do think that Tina might be in love with Helena and has been for yrs. If the I-Pod was from Bette It is ti reasure Helena her deep love that she had for her,andthat that love shouldn;t be forgotten but she need to love again and have a happy long life of happiness.
The only good thing about having been sick for the past two weeks is that, when your stories moves me to tears, I don’t have to explain my swollen eyes and runny nose. Your description of Helena’s suffering is immensely moving.
Uh oh… Was this a P.S. I love you thing…I can see how that could startle H. Can’t wait for the next chapter…
