I had been married to Jim almost 20 years and I found out a secret recently that is about to cause a bitter and nasty divorce.
While cleaning out some thing for our garage/yard sale, I was cleaning out my husband's old computer desk when I came across an envelope that showed the date January 16, 1984. That was the day that I delivered our only child - he was a stillborn. We named him Samuel after Jim's grandfather because he helped raise Jim after his father left him and his two sisters when he was just a baby. I could not have imagined why he had this in his desk and just being a bit curious and it wasn't sealed, just kept closed by a large clip, I decided to be nosy and see what these papers were all about.
I almost fell to the floor as they were papers and many pictures of a boy from the time he was a baby until he graduated from high school. There were notes on the back of each photo which showed the date and year each picture was taken and it started with a baby picture dated January 16, 1994 until June, 2012. The name of the baby was James and he looked so much like my husband it was almost like I was looking at his pictures growing up.
There was paperwork in the envelope as well and I opened it and I could not believe what I was reading. It was a notarized letter stating that the child was given to Mary XXXXXXXX on January 16, 199k4 at 1:15 pm - I delivered my still born that morning at 8:15 am - this was my baby. I had a very difficult birth after a very difficult pregnancy. I was sick almost ever day and couldn't keep down food. The only thing I managed to keep down and help keep my weight on was to drink milk shakes and ice cream. I was told that I was going to have a "C" section and it would be less stress for myself giving birth to our baby. We didn't want to know the birth at first, but we decided that after the sixth month that we would ask. Jim and I thought originally that as long as the baby was healthy, it didn't matter.
After driving to the hospital that morning with labor pains and discomfort most of the weekend, Jim drove me to the hospital. All along I was seeing pictures of our adorable little boy and looking forward to holding him in my arms and feeding him. We got looks at the hospital at first because Jim is black and I am white and they probably didn't know what to expect but I was in no mood to start spouting off my mouth as I do when people to stop and stare at the interracial couple. We got even more stares while I was pregnant. One day at the mall, I remember hearing whispers and couldn't hear the comments, but Jim did and I heard him say, "No madam, I did not "knock her up" - we are married and what is your issue."
He was very supportive of me during my entire pregnancy and I thought I was so lucky to have such a great husband. My friends were there for me too, but he was on top of it all. If he got stuck at work, he would call me and one of my friends would come by and stay with me and bring me my shakes or ice cream. It didn't seem like that it happened that often until now. I realized that it was once a week and sometimes two or three.
During those "late nights" I know now is when he was seeing this other woman. She was white also and he dated her a few times (I thought) before we met but he told me that things between them didn't work out and he broke it off with her. Like hell they didn't. It comes to be that she thought she was pregnant and he was the father and she was thrilled and he was too but she wasn't and she had gone into a deep depression. He accompanied her to one of her doctor's and to help he through, they told her that she was pregnant and it would help her. I never heard such horse shit in my entire life.
Jim was the love of my life and I fought like hell to make him a part of my life and had to ward off my family and friends that were against interracial marriages that he was a great guy and took good care of me and he did. He was always there for me, took me to the best places to eat, took me away on short trips and a few longer ones, bought me beautiful clothes and jewelry. He was all I ever wanted in a man and this man happened to be black which I didn't mind. I always found the black man to be the sexier and I found myself a real good man.
We had fallen in love almost instantly with each other and we had a wonderful sex life. He pleasured me and made love to me like no man had ever done and I loved going down on his extra large black cock and sucking him hard and licking his ass hole and balls. I loved how he made my pussy feel so good when he filled me up with his cock. We did it in all positions and he told me I was the best cock sucker ever. He always had a great "finish" and we were usually knocked out after that and took a nice hot shower and had to rest.
Sex was not the most important, but it was great to have a mate like that. We dated for only six months and we moved in together, against my family, who were extremely racist. Jim decided to take them all aside one night and explain his love for me and that he wasn't taking me for any ride or looking for some who had money, which my family did and that night he proposed to me in front of my family and some of our friends who were against our dating. He bought me a beautiful ring and we immediately started making plans for our wedding.
My best friend of over 20 years and his were our best man and maid of honor. My best friend is not against us, but she did tell me for years that she would never date a black guy after I told her I would. Our wedding party was mixed black and white and everyone looked great. My mother took to his mom right away and my father was there for us, but I know that he was hoping better for me, but did tell me that he just wanted me to be happy and if I ever needed anything to let him know. Jim's father had taken off his mother shortly after he was born claiming that Jim was not his. Comes to find that he knocked up a young girl he was working with and her father came after him and he was asked to help support the child and he left, leaving them alone and never heard from again. His grandfather stepped in; this was his father's father and he helped to raise him.
Grandpa Samuel was the world to Jim and he always was loved and taken care of. He taught him how to play football and basketball and Jim excelled at both and played for all his years. He was also schooled in the local high school and at home and he became an honor student. Having good grades and playing ball so well, it earned in a full scholarship in one of the Big 10 colleges. He made his mother and grandfather very proud.
After an injury after way through he senior year in college, he would never play again. His back was hurting all the time and his knees were shot. He blew out one of his knees after tackling one of the opposing players and and fractured the other in the same play. He was hospitalized most of the remainder of his senior year and he became very depressed kept to himself most of the time. His tutor helped him with all his school work and he was able to graduate with honors. The scouts that were watching him since his freshman year, wanted him to turn professional but he wanted to finish his education as he was preparing go into business after graduation and it would be his back up after his football days were over.
He had been working at one place that summer at a place that was close by to home and accommodated him by allowing his first several months of using his wheelchair and the crutches. They treated him well and he excelled. A huge fire in that neighborhood took out the shop and unfortunately the owner could not recover enough to rebuild and was in debt that they were forced to close down.
Only being out of work a few weeks, we went into one of the places in town and they knew him from his prior job, offered him a position with the company, great salary and benefits and he took the job and to this very day he is still there and is a manager and is on the very good side of his bosses. He is left in charge during their absence and has been always a trustworthy employee and was named employee of the year 15 times.
We met when I when I came into his place to look for something for my dad. There were four other men there, but Jim caught my eye and it could be because he was the only black guy there in a sea of white and Spanish faces. I passed by the other four guys when I heard Jim ask me, "Welcome to XXX XXXXXX, may I be of help to you?" I told him what I was looking for and would appreciate the help as I wasn't sure what I was looking for or getting. Dad had taken ill and asked me to pick this up and have it delivered and installed while he was in rehab.
Jim took the time to be with me and showed me my options being very informative and patient with my many questions. He had the greatest smile and I felt myself wanting to ask him for a date. I'm not like that so I guess I was taken by his charm and good looks. He smelled so good and had the darkest black eyes I've ever seen. He got me what I needed and then handed me a slip of paper and told me to look at it later on. He told me it would be delivered the very next day and installed and I knew that would make my dad a happy camper.
