lived. We didn’t spend any time getting to know each
          other — big mistake. I needed a place to stay. He needed

          a girlfriend.

          He was not the most handsome, but my reasoning was:

          I had two good-looking guys who left me high and dry

          — so what did I have to lose? Little did I know. In a
          short time, I was pregnant again. We were both happy.

          But eight months later, I had a baby boy.

          Then I went into rewind — that little one night I spent

          with Mr. Driver did not go to waste. So, I had to explain

          it all to him. Within a year, I became pregnant again.
          The stress of having two kids who were not his became

          too much for me. I was dying from guilt.

          I developed a large abscess on the inside of my thigh

          and had to seek medical help. I went to the University

          Hospital,  which  had  just  recently  opened,  to  have  it
          assessed. The thing was so large and painful — I cried

          like a baby. After checking it out, they said they would
          have to lance it. I had no idea what that meant. I made

          the appointment to go and have it done.
