A little girl in a slightly worn pink dress ran towards Olivia, and immediately grabbed the magenta top off the table and hugged it, smiling innocently as if she found her new favorite toy.
“No, Madison,” she said, “Don’t do that,” then turning to me she continued, “This is Madison, she’s one of the children we take care of here. Her mom is a single parent suffering from HIV.”
“Pweety,” Madison replied, hugging the top tighter. I smiled watching her; she reminded me of Becky.
“It’s ok,” I said, “Please let her have it.”
Madison giggled as she walked towards me and gave me a hug, “Thank yew,” she told me, looking up with her big brown eyes.
In that moment, I knew that this was a sign. It was so like Bette to keep wanting to give, and even in death, she didn’t want to stop.
I knew she was still around, holding my hand and showing me new horizons. These material possessions were not her earthly joys, Becky and I were. She wanted me to have a new lease of life through my letting these things go, she wanted to show me what was most important.

Watching Becky’s rhythmic breathing as she slumbered brought a comfort that I needed desperately during those dark lonely nights. My closet was now become half empty, like my heart. I sat in the shadows of Becky’s room, rocking back and forth gently on the chair that use to lull my baby to sleep. I closed my eyes, losing myself in dreams of happier yesterdays.

“Morning Hels,” Alice greeted as I walked into Dragonfly the next morning, “How you feeling today?”
I shrugged; Alice immediately picked up on my mood and engulfed me in a brief hug, “Busy day today,” she said quickly, flipping through the order book, “Lots of things to prepare for the kid’s party tomorrow…I believe her name’s Anna…yes…little Anna. And Miss Princess would like a pink birthday cake in the shape of a castle. Gees, why can’t all children just be like Becky and want meatloaf for their birthday.”
I grinned to myself as I flipped my long mane back and skillfully roped it into a neat bun, “Well, Becky is one in a million…”

Primaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa you actually wrote a new chapter and very appy about that and happy for you that you will soon fulfil your dream of going to Culinary Cooking School. This was a very moving chapter because Bette once again opened Helena to start a life without her, to start to date to see things with someone else cause she had more chapters more in her life without Bette. Bette would never leave her on account that Becky was actually her mirrired image. BUt being a mother was not everything and Bette knew that, that is why she wanted her to date and that didnt mean thier friends,,LOL. I am still thinking that Tasha is just someone who will help her but be the love she will need, I am thinking that’s its,,,,,,,,Tina! Wishful thinking okay;) Great chapter Prima, love ya!
hello dear euni, glad to see you’re back and continuing this story. You were truly missed :) It’s hard to see Helena move on with her life without Bette in it but she is too young to stay on her own. I truly can’t see her with asha though, I have nothing against her but I don’t see any chemistry between those two. I agree with Patty though Tina on the other hand ……. LOLPS Good luck with your studies, I’m convinst you will be a great pastry chef :)
I don’t understand why people think that someone has to be in love to be happy….if Helena can be happy alone so be it. I don’t agree with pushing someone into doing something their not ready for and I really don’t want Helena ending up with Tina. A life of boredom is not a good thing….lol.
so happy to see your post…missed this story…really enjoyed the update… if H can’t be with B, i can roll with Tasha, she embodies similar strengths as B..which could form the attraction…but who wants to be the rebound chic….especially when it’s rebounding from a special kinda love like B and H…looking forward to where you take us….Cheers
Okay, I read this story a while ago and when I saw that you were back had to go through and read it again before commenting. Absolutely love it. So many emotions over the past two nights. Thank you so much for continuing.
I’m happy to know that things are going well with you. School can be tough at times, but I know you are up to the task. I really love this story, but damn it’s hard to read. I guess that’s what makes it so good. Until your next chapter, take care of yourself.
Another emotion evoking chapter, euni. But I really don’t wanna cry so early in the morning. I’m so glad you’re going to finish this before scooting off to your sweet future. T minus how many days and counting? Wishing you all my best, dear one. :)
GOD, wht a big heart Bette had? Helena will never forger Bette but at least she can open her heart to love again. It hurts me to see Helena without Bette but Bette wouldn’tnot like Helena to stay by herself all her life. I hope Becky will know about her other mother tho. PPVS
Salut, petite et chere niéce Euni! *waving* We are sooo happy that you posted an update on your story. *doing happy dance* We think it was about time for Hel to move on. 7 years or mourning is enough time for grieving. Sooo, Tasha is the one, huh? Hmmm Well, you are the writer and you know how to make our hearts swell, dearest niece of ours. Can’t wait for your next installment. As for your dream coming to life next month, we are SO proud of you! Yaaayyy!!! Go, Euni Go! PPS Hugs and tender kisses on both your cheeks. Much love your way, Your Aunties Lu & Marsh
Every time Helena gets another letter, I start getting misty eyed. Dating, huh? A few dates won’t hurt. I had actually wondered throughout the call, who Hels had phoned, Tina or Tasha? I do think going out with Tasha could help the both of them. How many more “dinners” they have remains to be seen. Even if it doesn’t go anywhere, Tasha, I think, will always be a friend. And then, there’s Tina… ;) I’m glad you’re back euni, I hope school goes really well for you. Thanks for posting. :)
Hey E, this was a good chappie i thought the woman would be Tina not Tasha. Life is full of surprises I guess, great update.Btw you know playing by heart? I dont know what were going to do with it.do you?
