Patricia's Story
Hello WaHi classmates and families! I loved Washington High School. I do not know why they ever closed her doors. You could hop a bus to Laurelhurst Park, Washington Park, and be back in time for lunch and we were usually pretty darn hungry and we loved those cinnamon twists! Naw, seriously, it was a great location for young people to go to school, get to their jobs, I worked at Bernstein Brother wholesale tobacco, candy, and paper Co. on 11th and Morrison just up the street from our fav Bolling Alley and across the street from Planned Parenthood. We were the most awesome school, In reg.class I always sat next to my best friend Jan Berger and another best friend was Dorinda Long...Dorinda and I are still friends today and I named one of my four children after her daughter who is a beautiful woman now and so is mine! I have always lived in Portland except for a few years here and there. I now reside in Multnomah County and I have two sons, two daughters, 8 grandchildren between 19 and 1!All boys! except my oldest grandaughter. My biggest surprise just happened. On Christ...Expand for more
mas Eve. my husband of 35 years abandoned us and I am glad. He found a "female friend." After not making any housepayments in over a year and not giving money for me to pay bills he lavished gifts on his "friend." The last few months was bad, well the whole 35 years was regretable to put it mildly but he had started getting strange! Turns out his gal pal got him hooked on drugs! Those two lost stole and destroyed a lifetime of savings, time, and emotions to name a few things and in 8 days I must vacate the home I had waited 32 years to have. No money, I feel so incredibally stupid even though I know I am a wiser person since my High School daze and as my youngest son said today: "He disrespected my honesty." No one, no one has been able to EVER describe my heart in this situation as my son. Even though I do not know where I shall be in 8 days, I know that wherever I am I am loved by so many...I have the grace and love of my children and their children, I have a motley crew of true blue friends and I can only look forward to all the adventures yet to come! Namaste, Patti
