Re: [QUAD-L] From a quads wife

[Mare Albano]

Good job to both of you Honic!   OK, you asked... Once upon a time I was married and had a baby girl. My husband died suddenly,leaving me a widow at the age of 20 and a 10 mo. old baby. I traveled to Europe to burn off some steam, returned to the states, got a job and supported my daughter.   One rainy night my car careened off the road at a place that was eventually called ''killer bend'', the conditions were so bad and there were so many accidents. They've snce corrected it.   After being in rehab for 11 months, I got an apt., round the clock nurses and my daughter. I went to college p/t. I soon met ''St. Nick'', my 2nd husband. We got married and soon we had a another bouncing baby girl!   25 years later, we're still together and growing strong. We have 4 granddaughters between the 4 daughters. Christmas is expensive this year!   I'm still going to college. I'm 3 courses away from my BA in psych... gotta keep that brain muscle working!   I couldn't have done any of it without God's help!! As a matter of fact, I believe everything happens for a reason! OK... who's next...?!   ```~`~Mare  C4/5  28 yrs post... <*}}}><    ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 5:35 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] From a quads wife                                 My life as a incomplete quads wife   First of all let me say I would do it all over again, although it is not easy being the man of the house. lol   My husband and I traded off the responsibilities, ie: while I did chores that normally a hubby would do he would in turn do household chores that he could manage. I even learned to fix minor repairs on our car. Of course he was there telling me how to do it.   He was a very good teacher.   When our children were babies he would hold them with one had and push with the other alternately. I almost fainted upon returning from an appointment to discover he managed to get our first born infant into the living room. After that I was completely comfortable with leaving the youngsters with him.    Between the two of us we managed without outside help until the year of 2000. He is now in failing health and keeping me busy. Sometimes it is difficult, but I always remind myself what a great husband and Father he is and what a wonderful marriage we have. Fifty two years this past August. He is 77 and I am 71.   Now that u know a little about me how about some of your stories!!!!   take care Honic
