Tammy's Story

Well since I left school I have had a very colorful life, a lot of things i wish i had not done but can not change the past just have to Go on with the future. I road with some bikers for a while ended up in Houston for about 3 years that is where I met my future sister in law, went to Overton Texas to see her ex husband and that is where she introduced me to her brother. that was husband number 1. Eric Swanson he was a Good man did not deserve what I put him through. then left and went to Shreveport and that is where met second husband Jerry Belk. He was fun but we pissed our life away with alcohol and drugs. we met at my brother Donald's wedding, and i just never went back to Houston. bad girl Lol. we were together for about 7 years and then one day we were living in Mount Pleasant Texas, actually we lived in Winnfield and i worked as a car hop in Mount Pleasant.at the old Sonic on the main drag. well got tired of being missuses and woke up and left Packed what i could in my Plymouth horizon car and drove until i ran out of gas almost and got a job 4 hours later at Taco Bell in Janesville Wisconsin. this is where i met husband # 3 and 4, they are the same guy. But lived there for 17 years, and then when he went to the penitentiary. for homicide, by intoxicated use of a motor vehicle I went back and married him again. Stupid.... yesssss. any way things did not change in that relation ship and my mom called me and asked for my help with my dad he was sick and could not do for him self anymore and she needed help. so I packed my little Chevy S10 pickup and drove 1100 miles home me the dog and the cat. fun fun. this is how I got back to the house well I was an addict before I came back and it just progressed but when my father died I got even more wild I got a job in home health as an supervisor of family care and had about 100 clients and 40 employees that worked under me. then my drinking got out of control and i went to rehab, that was in 2003. but was out of there 30 minutes and drinking again. this went on until 2007 when I was sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time. Tried suicide several times and was put in Ruck State hospital, when i got out went back to rehab and stuck with it. have been clean and sober since 11-11-2007 . and for this I am truly Grateful it is only by Gods Grace and mercy that I am alive and here today. I give it all to God I know that he does for me what i can not d...Expand for more
o for myself. I met my current husband #5 in Marshall Texas at the McDonald's on highway 80 one night after i was invited to come back to the rehab and tell my story . this was the first night I spoke, was scared to death, but on the way home my car started to over heat and i was hungry so pulled into get a $1.00 burger and we met at the counter at the same time. he asked me out on a date and I said yes I do believe that is the first date I have ever went on. Well we are now married and live in Port Acres Texas he works in the ship yard and I stay at home with the 3 dogs and keep house and take care of him. I now know what true love is and wish i had found this long ago. but will take what God has given me now and be truly Grateful for it. and that is what has been happening in my life in the past 40 years. hope to hear from some others out there from the class of 82. Well an update to this post my mother had a stroke in 2014, and I now take care of her the only thing the stroke did was bring on the dementia. So no it is like I am the adult and she is the kid, I am really wishing I had not given my mom such a hard time. Well Update My Brother Donald and my sister Vicki came and took my mom home after 4 1/2 years they decided that I was not taking care of her good enough. My mother was put in a nursing home first. She was really sad finally, they let her go home and my sister was to take care of her since she lost her job as a manager of family dollar in waskom , this lasted a year and 1/2 Then my Mother Passed away at home in her own bedroom on 4-5-2019. at 3pm. I was there I had come to help my sister with my mom and I was sleeping in her room with her. But like I told my husband Mike when my mom dies there will be a lot of fighting and crap well I was right. So any way I have my life and they have theirs. I am Just truly Grateful that I got to spend time with her even though she did not know We were there. I felt good she had asked my sister to read some from the bible and my sister said Tammy you can do that I don;t know nothing about reading the bible. Sad. but she did get to pass at home. I will miss her so if anyone of you still has your mom or dad, let them know that you love them and enjoy the time you have with them. Now I can get my husband to retire we will be traveling, up to , Washington state, I hope to get him to go to Alaska, I just want to get away from this crazy in this lower 48..
