Caroline was a sweet woman, always giving to others before herself.
We all assumed that's why her first 2 marriages failed, they had taken what they needed and moved on.
She had 4 beautiful children, and when it was just her and them they were spoiled by her love.
James had lived a horrible life until his 18th birthday, when he escaped his mother's tyranny.
No one would have ever expected the two of these people coming together.
Her, 34 with 4 children and him all of 18 and seeds to sow, but, one night they both were attending a movie alone,
fate stepped in and these two hearts were brought together, much to the chagrin of Caroline's 4 children.
Her older daughters, already in their teens, disapproved of this boy trying to become part of their mother's life
and made it clear every chance they got. They would purposely ignore him and play him against their mother, but
Caroline fell in love with him and would not allow them to force him away. Things were rough that first year, James
worked long days trying to keep a roof over his families head and Caroline worked right along side of him. They
moved around a bit, but finally settled down into a nice home in town. But the children never accepted him.
When things were pretty much settled James took up his first love again, fishing. He would leave first thing in
the morning and come home at dusk every day he could. Caroline would go with when she could or when she had nothing
better to do.
This went on for a year or so until Caroline decided it was time that she got to choose what they would do sometimes
instead of it always being his hobbies. James would have none of this and refused to stop his fishing. So, Caroline
took up a hobby of her own.
She had always loved writing and in her younger school days would even be paid for doing it. She decided to see
if anything would come of it now as she was older. She bought herself a computer and began joining groups of writers,
reading others works and honing her own skills. She had one authur in her groups that she would read over and over
everything he posted.
The more she read of his stories the more she was convinced she could do this.
James and Caroline stayed married 25 years, had seen two of her daughters get married, 1 get her masters degree
and her son go on to be a phys ed teacher at the local elementary school.
