some background.
My mom lives in a nice but tiny apartment about 30 miles from here. Its at times been a refuge for me..a place to rest when sick or get away for a few days.Its in her name.
For a long time she has shared this place with her long time boyfriend. He is a lawyer and has money/. The reason they dont marry as they have been together for about 30 years and he buy her a nice home eludes me. I do think he helps take care if her in a lot of ways as my mom no ,longer works and retired because of a disability that happened about 10 or so years ago.
Lately he has some serious health issues. His Blood pressure has sky rocketed and mom has been worried and does not lie to leave him for long.
The dream.
I was in a apartment. It was small but had two bedrooms. There seemed to be a balcony out back and i could go out and see ocean swells. There seemed to characters" as neighbors that i could talk to and see from time to time like one would see on a sitcom. It was a older like apartment .
Suddenly mom has moved. Its a nicer,,cleaner more upscale place. But its smaller. Only one bedroom.
Mom is telling me about a strange man living across from her. He is suppose to be a professional smart guy but in her presence mom saw him making odd movements with a broom and just acting weird.
I think they were like one story up and under them was a man and a young girl for neighbors.
I was upset there was no extra bedroom. Bill.moms boyfriend said he couldn't afford one or something like that..and that he was paying for this apartment.
There just wasn't going to be much room for me.
I saw mom and Bill looking at me sitting together and i think i heard mom very nicely say " Goodbye Julie
thats it.
