Hayley rang, she sounded quite low she said that she had difficulty coming to terms with me and Robert breaking up, I explained to Hayley that I am now happier then I have ever been in my life, I have finally taken the right path. one of the many roads that I took was to marry Robert Checksfield, I promised that I would care for him, for richer or poorer stay with him until death I took my marriage vows very seriously. I walked my marriage road for thirty-seven years, I wouldn’t say that it was an easy road but he was my husband and I was never going to leave him.Robert was hard working and very honest he did like a drink and would spend the whole of the weekend drinking in the local pubs. I was upset that he was spending more of his time in the pub at weekends than with me and the children, I would remind myself that it was better than living in the conditions that I had been accustomed to back on St Helena. so I put up with it.I always thought that I owed Robert a debt. when my children were young we were living on a rough council estate in Kent it was so rough you were embarrassed to tell anyone your address.If I had stayed on St Helena instead of marrying Robert I would have in no doubt ended up working on the Falkland Islands. I had a young child and I would’ve had to have left her. There was no one that I could have left her with, my family were not suitable and her father was nothing more than a pervert living in an incestuous relationship with his vulnerable sister. I got married and came to England Georgina was born a year later. money was tight at times I was working in a large supermarket stacking shelves, one day out of nowhere this man appeared and started to talk to me he told me that his wife had been badly injured in a car accident, he went on to say that his wife looked just like me. I saw him every time I went to work, he was always standing outside the shop where I worked. A few months later he told me that his wife had died and that he was moving away he asked me to move away with him I said certainly not I am married I would never dream of leaving my husband what would my mother and father in law think of me. Keith went on to say to me you have no future living on that awful council estate, your husband is always in the pub do come away with me. I didn’t run off with Keith in his big yellow Mercedes Benz but I have always wondered what happened to Keith. I have always thought about Keith and what my life would have been like if I had gone off with him. I would never have left Robert at the time even though Keith was offering me everything that Robert couldn’t give to me. Knowing what Robert has done to me I wished that I had gone off with Keith. Now I have Anthony, I like to think that I have taken the right road at last. Anthony always says that he feels cheated we have met so late in life we are both sixty years old. I gave Robert Checksfield thirty-seven years of my life and he walked out on me when I became ill.Anthony and I will count our blessings and have a giggle every day, that is all we can do. we can not get the lost years back we can always hope that God will give us some happiness because we so deserve it.
