Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Well, I was not impressed with Jane! Promises you the flowers that you paid for, then keeps them. I thought it was callous of her to moan about you dashing off to see your husband in hospital when she knew he'd put the operation off so you could go to the wedding. A lot of work was put on you, what with the breakfast supper as well. On top of all that, your boss was so nasty, giving you the bill for the printing because you had to take time off to look after Evan, even after you went into work at 6:am. There are some pretty selfish people around and you had to deal with them at your most worrysome time. What a nightmare you lived through at that time. Another excellent chapter, my friend. :) Sandra xx

Thank you so much Sandra. Jane was a disappointment. I like her when I first met her, but she seemed to have to sides to her personality and she could be nice one day and impossible to be around the next. This time period in my life was stressful.

It's amazing you survived such a hectic time period! I am guessing things were not so pleasant with Jane since she expected so much from you and didn't have the decency to be compassionate about Evan being in the hospital. Weddings are a crazy times. So glad Evan's sisters could help out. What a lot of pressure from everywhere.
Thanks for filling us in about the international affairs then, too!

Thank you ro the review and comments. Jane got very nervous and hard to deal with when she was under stress. When I first met her she was a pleasant person but she changed over time.

Thank you so much for the review and comments. As we grow closer to what has happened more recently, I may not remember as much. The distant past seems clearer in my mind.

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Wonderful episode--always drama--not surprised that you made Christi leave--ironic that she's obsessed with a gay man whilst ignoring those who desire her. Jane is nervy and tacky. Kinberly's disgusting stunt must have mortified all present.
Helen almost passed out [OMIT COMMA] when I told her about your accident.
The reception was in the church's fellowship room [COMMA] which was also very decorated.
The girls and I we were in the waiting room, worrying about what was happening [OMIT: much] for much longer.
My boss wasn't pleased with me taking off, so as I was leaving, he presented me with a bill of $78 [OMIT PERIOD] for the printing I'd had done for Kimberly.
Honeymoon=>honeymoon
A few days after the wedding, Carol left to go back to Florida. She drove Mom to Atlanta and put her on a bus [OMIT COMMA] that took her back home without her having to change buses.

Sugg: update notes to say Kimberly is Don's WIFE (for better ... or worse)

Comment from royowen
It was certainly an eventful time in your life, and speaks volumes for your resilient and faithful nature, I hope your kids appreciate the fact they had a "super" mum, who carried the burden of care fro her family. Your husband was a lucky man, as were your employers. Well done Beth, blessings Roy
Typo : driving herself to school ever(y) day.
