Neva's Story
Life
Well let's start from the beginning. I got married in June of 1975 and I had a son Daniel in December of 1975. We lived back in Junction City, Kansas where my Husband was in the Army at that time, and my son was born back there. We moved back to California in 1977 and lived about two houses up from my mom. I think it was in either 1978 or 1979 we moved up to Lodi and lived up there. My Husband ,my Son and I lived in Lodi until February of 1982 when I got the news that my oldest brother had past away while on vacation. My husband and my mother-in-law took me to the lake to tell me the news about my brother. I flew back down to Hawthorne for the Funeral. After that was over I went down to San Diego with my mom and my other brother, where he lived at the time. When It was time to go back to my Husband I called him up and told him that I was not coming back and I stayed in San Diego ever since. Three Months later I meet a man one night when I was out on the town and we have been together ever since then. It has now been 23 years together. We are not married nor will we ever be. After my Divorce from my husband I never remarried because of my son. I raised him by myself and with the help of my family and my boyfriend.
My son will turn 30 years old this year, and just in August I took him to see his dad after 23 years. That went really good. So that's all that I have been up to since school. Just so you know my son is a little on the handicaped side.
Bye for now
Update:
I know that this is a little late but last year about a month after we had came back from visting his Dad, my Son ended up getting married to some girl that I don't even know. My son says that she went to his school, when he was in school. We found out that she has a child by some other guy, and that her Aunt is raising the little girl as her own child. Her Aunt adopted the little girl because she is not able to take care of her own child. She too is a little on the slow side and needs help too. But she in turn disowned her family and has nothing to do with her family.
She thinks she is very street smart and knows it all, but in reality she don't. They got married at the county record office, and did not tell any of us that they were going to do this. If we had know that they wanted to get married, then we would have had a church wedding like they should have. Instead there was a lot of hurt feeling and emotion that is going on to this day. I love my son and will do anything for him but I will not do anything for his wife. They have been left out at Easter and at Halloween. The same will be true for Thanksgiving and Christmas. My son is always welcome to come to the house by himself and not bring his so called wife. She is never welcome ...Expand for more
here and she will never be know as my Daughter-in-Law. I only have a Son that has moved out and trying to make it on his own. I still have very hurt feeling over this so called marriage.
Well on to something else, Me and my Boyfriend since 1982 are still together and going strong.
I also still stay in contract with my Ex off and on. So that's it.
bye for now
Workplace
I have worked most of my life as a waitress in a lot of different kinds of restaurants. I have also worked as a counter person in a couple of different Dry Cleaners. Now I am working as a cashier in a warehouse type business know as Restaurant Depot.It's a big warehouse that only restaurant and deli places can shop. They sell in bulk, like Costco, but only to Restaurant type places. I have been there now for only 6 months but I really like it. This is the first job that I had to join the union.I really like all the people that I work with, and the Boss are cool too. Other than that not too much else has been going on.
It is now Saturday, Nov 8, 2008 Not a whole lot is going on except that we are trying to find a new place for my son to live with a new roommate. His roommates now have threaten him about three weeks ago. We got my son out of the house for a couple of days until thing claimed down. After the third day my son decided to go back and try it again. He does not speak to them if he don't have to. The less said the better off he is. Right now we are hoping that this new place will go thru for him. This is the third place that we have tried. He really needs to get out of the situation that he is in right now. We did report the incident to the Police but they said that there was nothing they could do because the guy did not a weapon in his hand at the time and because the guy never touched my son, but it is written down so the police knows about the incident.
I am still with the same man that I have been with since 1982 and things are still going good for us.
well that's all for now.
Hello again, I see we all made it through Thanksgiving and the Christmas Holidays, and the New Year.
My son was very hurt this Holiday because his Dad did not send him a Christmas card or even phone him to wish him a Merry Christmas. It was the same way with New Years too. His Dad always told us that he can call anywhere and anytime and it won't cost him nothing because he is on some kind of a plan with the phone company. Any time my son wants to call his Dad, (Danny) my son always has to call his Dad. His Dad never calls him. My son told me that he will not call his Dad until his Dad makes a effort to call him. If his Dad wants to talk to his son he will have to do the calling from now on. Things will be a little different between my son and his Dad this year.
Well that's it so far for now.
