Ruby

My Ruby I know Adult Romances are supposed to be about Love, may be sex, but happily ever after. And in the end, Brandon and Ruby were happy with each other for all eternity. But I had to show you the whole journey of Ruby’s Life. She was a unique and special person. I had so much fun marking the passages in my Journals for this author as Ruby grew up. She was so full of life, filled with so much love for her mother, me, and Brandon. But marking the passages in the last twenty-one months of her life, took me many months to accomplish. I could only take so much sadness because it overwhelmed me. Those last months were not my friend. I hope I chose the right passages to make you happy but sad at the same time. I wanted you to feel my sadness of the passing of my dear friend. She was so much a part of me, and I still miss her! We as women, know the preciousness of having a true friend. Men don’t think like us. Yes, they have friends but not that close. Women have usually only one true friend. Actually, I had two, Ruby and Jerry! But they left me so young! But Ruby was the only person who really knew me! She prepared me mentally and sexually for Rick. I never forgot that! Very few women ever get a friend like Ruby. She was so attuned and aligned to me, she was my Soul Sister! To have a friend like that is very special in a woman’s life. It is why when she died, it was like part of me died with her. It is why it took me many weeks to be me again. But who can say that their special friend crossed over to prevent me from entering Heaven and live the life I lived over the next sixty-nine-years! I have missed her every day, I still remembered her on her birthday and the day of her death. After Ruby died, I still visited our favorite café every Friday. I bought two cups of coffee and sat there talking to that empty chair about what had went on during the previous week. People thought I was nuts! Maybe so, but it made me feel good because they did not know that Ruby was a good listener and after talking to that chair and cup, I had new clarity on what needed to be done the next week. That was what made Ruby so special, she knew what I needed, and she made me talk it through. I know she never said a word but by the end of the conversation, Ruby had given me the insight to take on what I needed to take on. After Rick retired, he would go with me on Fridays, and he would talk to that empty chair and cup of coffee. It made him feel good! I know there was nothing sexual between Rick and Ruby, but I did know that they were like brother and sister. Rick felt very close to Ruby as a sister for the ten years they knew each other. I think Ruby could have been such a blessing for Rick if she had been his sister! I could go on and on for hours about Ruby because she was so special. She may have slept with thirteen guys, she only truly loved one! She was my bestie, my Soul Sister! In the thirteen years we knew each other, we were there for each other, and we stood up for each other. We loved each other. And the Journey was so special! No one can ever take away the good times and bad times that Ruby and I had! I have a thousand memories of her and have never forgotten her. After all, she was my Ruby! My best friend, ever! She was Ruby Martin-Jones!
