" The conversation has an incredible deja vu' to it. As they talk more they realize that folk medicine is part of both their traditions. They begin to...compare notes and this young man is as well versed as any pre-med student of the time. The doctor and his wife are known throughout the valley as skilled practitioners. As they discuss general botany, she swears she is almost back when she had first met her husband at the local college. They married and both families felt blessed by their union.. Her diary for 30/11/88 talks about how she and her mate C got into a disagreement with C's then boyfriend. It all got a bit silly so M rang V to se if she could stay at his place, which she rarely did. Anyway, during the argument C threw a book at her boyfriend, it missed him and caught M in the eye, she immediaetly sprouted a black eye.V picked her up 10 mins later. Iquote from her diary now, "I was crying, eye all swollen, I told him I felt unwell and that I thought I might be sick, he wanted. Couldn't he see that without any help from him, I had managed to find the one girl who would make me happy? I hadn't needed his help, our father's money would not have been an issue, it would have been Shelly and me, happy together.But my brother had to fuck that up for me.The last year of my college career was nothing but slow torture for me. Thankfully my brother and I were no longer roommates, so I wasn't forced to put up with Shelly's constant presence in my life. No, I only had to be. I can't tell you how happy I am with what we have, where we live, and what we do. I have my special friends, other ladies who enjoy my love, and you, my Chuck. You are the man of our dreams, and the man who is the father of our children."That was a lot from Frieda. She usually wasn't that talkative, but wasn't a shrinking violet when you needed someone to speak up. I looked at the five as they looked at me, and knew how committed they were to me. It made my insides tremble a little as I knew.
