End of A Chapter

...2 years later my husband returned from overseas, he was stationed in Louisiana. He was living on base, wanting to be near him I rented a room and got a job at a 5 and 10 cent store near by. Soon I was able to get a better job as a waitress. One of the waitress at the restaurant had a husband stationed at the same base, she told me that my husband was having an affair with another officer on base and having an affair with her. Hearing this I returned home to Iowa, he was discharged a year later. Trying to work it out, we  moved to a little town in Iowa, shortly after, we moved again to New Mexico and then Colorado. After some time of this I finally said "no more", this little girl had grown up. I got a divorce (now I know that wasn't necessary, I could have had the marriage annulled) and moved back to Iowa to be near my family. There I rented a sleeping room and got another job as a waitress.
When I was 18 I met my husband, Bob, we have been married 59 almost 60 years (6/19/49). You'll hear more about him tomorrow.
