Belinda Smith's Story
Hi Everyone! Long time yeah? I feel as if it were at least 3 lifetimes ago.
I'm hoping all of you are doing well.
Most of you won't remember me. I had zero self-esteem and tended to drift in the shadows. I got in trouble as a junior because Michael G. handed me a quaalude in History.. That got me 2 weeks alternative school kicked out of the secretarial program. I felt bad but it turns out I didn't need it to find a job. I had a few friends - Sherry, Donna and Becky, all of whom I recall with fondness.
So, married a rebound, which was a huge mistake - he was 16 years older than. Me (eek!) Lasted a year and a half.
In 1979 I got preggers (damn that disco!)
I did re-marry and had another son. I have two smart and handsome sons. One is a nurse practitioner in Seattle. (Did I tell you I moved from Texas to Seattle to California?) He is 39 and gave me 3 beautiful grand children😁.
My husband and a I have been together 28 years. We met on a blind date in June 1991. We were married in Oct 1991 - I was already pregnant. Oops. We took a ...Expand for more
year and a half break - 1996-1997, we never fell out of love, it was just circumstance. I don't know about soul mates, but he's still so cute and he still makes me laugh!
My youngest is 27 and is a sales supervisor for a home security company (Not ADT). He is an inactive heroin addict. We battled for ten years, 5 28-day rehabs we where he'd go through withdrawal every time. It was awful. I didn't think any of us would survive. Finally, we found a sober living house. They held him accountable and did mentoring. Now, he's been sober for 5 years and turned his life around and has become a stand up citizen. I am so grateful for Puente House in Covina, CA.
I retired last October because fibromyalgia is affecting my ability to retain info and my memory a bit. You can't be a book keeper and have all that going on.
So that's my story. I tried to leave out most of the messy stuff. Nobody wants to see that,
I won't be able to make the reunion. I'm sorry I won't be seeing you all again. Please post the pics somewhere so I can look at you. ❤️
