HELEN !

I THINK THAT IN WRITNG STORIES ABOUT A LIFE, HONESTY IS PARAMOUNT.  GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH HELEN.   AFTER A RATHER SAD LIFE....HELEN IS MY THIRD WIFE.  ONE DIVORCED ME, ONE DIED, AND THEN THERE IS HELEN.  EIGHTY-SEVEN YEARS OLD, SOMEWHAT OF AN INVALID,, HAD A STROKE AND HAS CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE.  SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,,,I LOVE HER MORE EACH DAY....ALLOT OF WORK, YES, BUT THE REWARDS ARE INFINITE.  IT SEEMS GODS GAVE ME THE GIFT AFTER A LIFE MOSTLY LIVED.  SHE HAS SOME QULAITIES THAT ARE SOMEWHAT MAGIC..LITTLE THINGS I HAVE NOTICED.  FIRST, THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ABSENCE OF SOUND WHEN SHE WALKS WITH HER WALKER.  LITTLE STEPS DOWN THE HALL AND THERE IS NOT ONLY NO SOUND, THERE IS ANTI SOUND.  SHE REMINDS ME OF A LITTLE SPIDER AS SHE STEPS ALONG HER WAY.  BEING SOMEWHAT SENILE, I RESPOND TO HER WISHES.  A SUDDEN DESIRE TO GO INTO HER WALK IN CLOSET, WHERE SHE SURVEYS HER WARD ROBE...,EXAMINING AND TOUCHING ALL OF HER CLOTHING.  I UNDERSTAND.  DENIED A PLEASANT CHILD HOOD FROM A POOR AND NEGLECTFUL HOME WHERE SHE MADE HER OWN CLOTHING SO SHE COULD DRESS FOR SCHOOL.  NEVER GIVEN A BIRTHDAY PARTY....A SMILE THAT ANGELS WOULD LOVE TO HAVE....A CLEVERNESS THAT CAN SPRING OUT OF THE DARKNESS THAT AMAZES ME....SUCH AN ELEGANT WAY OF SAYING BASIC THINGS....." I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM"     SHE MAKES HER OWN RULES WHEN WE PLAY CHINESE CHECKERS....WITH MARBLES.. SOME TIMES SHE TAKES THREE TURNS AT A TIME.   I LOVE IT....I PRAY EVERY NIGHT  "LORD, TAKE US BOTH TOGETHER"    WHEN SHE DIES, I DIE, SO, HE MIGHT AS WELL....I LOVE MY HELEN.....
