This was when?
Well, this was after Jon and I were married and she was alone again, and all of a sudden I just – when we got together, we had a marvelous time. You know, she came out and lived a year with me after the divorce.
How was that?
During that time she was, it was lovely, but I guess I wasn’t as appreciative of what she was doing as I should’ve been really. But we had a good time.
But you still didn’t feel that kind of thing.
No, it would happen when I see her, when she got off the train, and the little boys were there, and I been divorced, and we hugged and kissed, and cried a little bit, but generally speaking no, I think she irritated me slightly, and it was hard for me to keep it– one of the problems was she was deaf, and it is terribly hard to be around a person as you know, and I was not terribly kind about it all the time. Anyway, she understood that I was always proud of her, I’m glad we got to know each other better. We could talk about other things. You know, when I grew up, she was not open about sex, and maybe parents are that way, you know, but I kept thinking she was not telling me the truth. I knew she wasn’t, because I knew everything. (laughs)
Did she actually not tell you the truth?
No, no, she just sort of evaded. She was going to have my little brother and I knew that because I had seen her stomach. So she called me into the bedroom one day and said, “Nancy, God had planted a seed and it was growing, it was inside her stomach and she was going to, have a baby soon. “
