[Mother encounters serious health problems; husband deserts her; will son save the day?]
[This sensitive story involves a woman going thru a grave health crisis that does not have a happy ending. If this is a problem, then we will see you next time; thanks.]
To 'set the table' for you, Mal my father was 49, an investment company owner. Sue my mother was 42, a housewife. Patricia (Pat) my Aunt was her twin sister, a spinster (unmarried.) I was 22.
I remember when I had just turned 18 as a high school senior. I had always dreamed of dating Heather, the head cheerleader for our team. I covered the team for the school paper and somehow managed to get a date. Through an unrepeatable series of lucky events, I had gotten the date, sweet-talked her into my house (I lived in a tiny bedroom detached from my parents' home by the garage), and actually gotten her into the sack. It was a dream fulfilled.
Well, imagine if you will the blondest, bustiest, leggiest, sexiest dreamgirl...have that picture? Now multiply it by ten. THAT was in my bed. She was on her back, legs spread, pussy dripping. I climbed between those legs, as smooth and silky as a baby's butt, and pushed my nine inch Mr. Johnson into the gates of heaven. So tight, so warm, so wet, so welcoming. For those few moments, I must have been the happiest man in the world. Being a strong, healthy, lithe, nubile, cheerleader, she gave as good as she got, our stomachs slapping together with amazing speed and frightening power. My balls tightened for the biggest splash in history. Just as I was rounding third for home, the lights came on!!! There was my!?!?!? father, asking what was going on here, in his house? I fell over and grabbed for the covers. Since there was no answer for that question, he glared and then left. Heather, the dreamgirl of everyman's dream quickly dressed and demanded to be taken home; she had 'never been so humiliated' and never wanted to see me again.
I was suitably delighted. Then I heard that Patricia, mom's sister, my Aunt, had noticed me taking the side entrance to my little place, with a guest. She wasn't 'cool about it' and blew the whistle. After that moment, I never wanted to see or speak to her again.
Four years later:
Much had happened in four years. I had attended a good university and had taken a rarely offered dual major, allowing me to drive for a BA and work towards law also. As a result, I got my BA and was ABB in law (all but BAR test.) I got a nice job 'clerking' for a firm which was basically doing the real leg work on cases, with the partners coming in for the actual court appearance. I had had to move away from our Shaker Heights, Cleveland locale and move to Manhattan.
One day I got a call from Patricia of all people, my despised Aunt.
Pat: "Hello James, this is your Aunt Pat. Before you hang up, this call concerns your mom. It's important. I was pledged not to tell you this; your mother didn't want your career path to be interrupted or distracted. Your mom has been under-going chemo. I have helped her as much as I can. The thing is, your dad has not been supportive at all. It's so bad there that I would appreciate it if you could see your way to flying home and meeting me at your mom's for a Saturday get together. I will pay the ticket, taxis, anything; she needs you Jim...I need you."
Her call left me thunderstruck. I had no idea that mom was ill, that dad had turned on her, or that I was needed back home. All of a sudden, my petty differences with Aunt Pat evaporated. I was dearly touched by her call and offer. I told her thanks but that I would pay my way. Thank goodness for Southwest Airlines or I'd have had to pay $1,200 for the roundtrip on short notice.
When I flew into Cleveland Aunt Pat (42 and still single, my mom's twin, and just as beautiful) picked me up. I called her from the plane so she only had to wait 3 minutes by the curb. We got to my home in record time. As I came in, mom was surprised to see me. I was just as surprised to see how she had changed. I hadn't seen mom since I left for college 4 years before. We spoke every Sunday at least, but I was always working when not in class. Mom actually looked better, having lost her middle age spread, regaining her fantastic 36-25-37 figure. But, I knew how this happened and it hit me hard...mom was wearing a wig which sort of looked like her old hair. Beneath the wig, mom was bald. Chemo is a hard regimen of treatment, relentless and merciless. I made sure I didn't look at her hair and gave her the hug of her life.
So there we all were, my dad, 49 but looking 66, as bald as my mom, Pat, my Aunt and twin to my mom, and my beautiful mom. Neither my mom nor Pat had the heart to tell me, but even this small gathering of four was too much for my mom to handle by herself. Given that her husband was not the helpful type, Pat had to pitch in.
Midway thru the meal, my dad started carrying on about his newly hired receptionist. He said mom had to look out and worry, this woman was young, leggy, and had long, healthy flowing hair. It was a thoughtless, even cruel, thing to say in the circumstance. It also was ironic in that he was not very 'well covered' up there either. Anyway, my mom was furious and flamboyantly removed her wig. Everyone was stunned.
Mal: "Put that wig back on, you freak. How dare you embarrass me in front of guests!" [He came up to her and splashed his cocktail in her face. Mom held her hand up so I wouldn't get involved, and wiped her face with a napkin.]
Mal: "I am sick to death of living with a freak!! PUT ON THAT DAMN WIG NOW!!" [He slapped my helpless mom, hard. She held her hand up again, though a tear now dripped from her eye. Nothing in the world was keeping me out of this now!]
Almost knocking the table over, I stormed up from my chair, leaped towards him, and hit him with twice the power of any Mike Tyson punch. I was that mad. Well, he went back thru the doorway to the dining room, hitting the kitchen screen door before falling into a heap. He would be out for hours.
