Bettye's Story

Life Hello out there, incase you have a memory lapse, I am the youngest of four girls and the youngest sister of Lucille,Brenda and Elizabeth. I once lived in California for 36 years but now live in the state of Tennessee. I have been here for five years. I have no children and single, my first husband {Delano Whitfield-deceased} and traveled to several states while in US Army. I am now retired after 30 years in the transportation industry. I feel so lost now because of health reasons I am no longer allowed to work. Plan your life well for when the day comes that you are no longer able to work you will have much to do. I always wanted to be a mother when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a joke of a idea. As it turns out, they were wrong. I was never blessed to give birth to children due to a violent life but I have been blessed with a beautiful daughter that I adopted into my life after I arrived in Tennessee. My Inspiration comes from God, and my Daughter. I have been the blunt of many violent situations in my life time. I am well aware that being a mother is and can be a real issue. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Marjorie Christian, because we were such good friends. If I could improve my home, I'd remodel my second floor and add on a larger closet. My dream home would be in California. My current age is 67 will be 68 on Dec. 12. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be slow. I was so completely wrong. I just lost two people very close to me and they were both much younger than me. Morjorie was a great friend to me but God so fit to call her home so we will have to postpone our meeting until the Lord decide it's time. Wow I have lost so many close friends and family members that it causes me to really think about my mortality. My best friend would tell you I'm fun lovin...Expand for more
g, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as LOUD. I went to Kentucky on Thursday 3/8/12 to attend the homegoing service for my Good Friend and Classmate Mrs. Marjorie Christian Fields. R.I.P. MY FRIEND U WILL BE MISSED I share my home with Tiny, Ipod and, my dogs which I find very entertaining. Chelsea has since passed away on March 27,2011. (I truly miss her R.I.P.). In 10 years, I hope to be living in California. My first job was at housekeeping, where I got paid $1.00 per day to $5.00 per day. What I remember most about it is the people was cheap. My step-mother tried to whip me and I ran away from home to the neighbor's house. Also my oldest sister made me mad and I bit her in her stomach and she told my father and I told my father "what you looking at me for I'll bite you too" and he told me yea and I'll beat your ass too. "But he never hit me." My Daddy was my best friend, now deceased, and I feel so lonely without him. I am one lonely person these days. It is worse when you know you have family but they are so far away. That is why I want to move away from here and get away from the lonelyness. I share my home with Mut-Tiye, which I find very bosy and differant. My favorite memory is my best friend Marjorie and how we would get in so much trouble for smokeing under the house. I truly miss her for we had made plans for us to get together this summer but God had other plans he wanted her more and called her home. He knew she was tired and it was time to end her suffering. I have mentioned her several times but she is and always will be my best friend. Damit why am I feeling so much pain these days I need love in my life but oh well, I know the concept "first you must love yourself then you can allow someone else to love you" What really is the meaning of LOVE. Answer that for me if you think you can!!
