Generations

Steve gets it

He is the beginning of the X generation

I am the end

Wow…

But I get concepts and images and have very little Audio retention

Now I am in Menopause,

And I get it before him

It just changed

Though not much has changed because he is the opposite of me astrologically

I am an Aries Sun, Aries Moon with a Cancer rising,

Steve is a triple Libra

That is why I can communicate with Simone

Whom is a Cancer

I have always been in love with Simone

But she has had a hard time since her Father committed Suicide

She grew up on a small Island where I grew up as a part timer, but never lived for many years

I have had a hard time too; I am a mental health patient

Steve has Kleinfelders Syndrome

Steve dated a woman 21 years ago before we got together, in 1998

She died of a motorcycle crash on Heroin

She had a miscarriage with Steve

He loved her and hated to see her struggle with addiction

Both Steve and Simone love Crossword puzzles

Steve’s mom was a Dean of Literature, a poor teacher raising three boys in Orange New Jersey in the Sixties and was a cross word puzzle savant

Dorothy died of Alzheimer’s

Simone fell in love with Kevin when we moved here in 2007

I had just come from Harborview and was surviving the worst break I have ever had

A great economic crash happened a year later

I began to get better from my mental illness and have much improved these last 9 years

Kevin had a son around the time I moved here with his High School sweet heart from Indiana

The same time of my psychotic break and the demise of the economy later in 2008

This boy I believe is the spirit of Monica’s and Steve’s miscarriage

It was very hard for me to take my eyes off him at the children’s center when he started coming to school

He was a troubled child

Ali began doing meth and Henry’s parents divorced

I watched Henry and began playing music with Kevin, Henry's dad

Now, I the tail end of the X generation am friends with Simone

We both are recovering and she quit drinking

My whole family is on Lopez and I have a beautiful niece and nephew, Ada and Weston

I am still in love with Steve and hope to meet all of my big brothers someday, Mike, Bruce and John

The name of the baby Steve and I aborted when I was 20, he 37, a true Miracle, is yet to be decided

I have always wanted a big brother
