"Nicknames..."
| |
Mike or Shafe were my only two...until I started dating Debby. We were married for nearly forty years...she is tall at 5’8”, auburn haired with freckles on her nose, hazel eyes. We divorced several years ago...amicably. She could easily pass for 40, but is closing in on 70....which is very annoying. Anyway, her Dad and consequently Deb always called me Mik, pronounced Mick. Her current partner is younger than our youngest son...and I always refer to him as my third son. A really nice guy. I was quite proud recently when Deb stuck her finger in my face and said, “He’s just like you.” Well, yes he is, and I already knew that. Still made me smile...at least she is consistent. Oh, and when in her late twenties she had a beautician match her hair color, so it ain’t changed at all. Did I mention she was annoying? One other annoying trait...she doesn’t read anything but Medical books...has no training, and I would trust her diagnoses over any Doctor. On the flip side of that is a lady I watched over after my friend, and her husband died. Before he died he had asked me to watch over her, which I did for several years before cancer took her. She was an operating room nurse in Baltimore. She had no genealogy information...both of her parents were adopted. She was a duplicate of Debby, except she was 5 feet to Deb’s 5 feet 8 inches. Both ladies possessed quick wits with great senses of humor and were mirror images of each other...except for the height thing. |
