Wind On The Water

Now what? thought Teresa. Finding herself unexpectedly divorced with two children at college. She would have to get a job; although it was over twenty years since she had worked out of the home. She had graduated from college as a secretary. Did people still need secretaries? she wondered. Following several false starts, she managed to secure employment with a small printing company near her home in Des Moines, Iowa. A month or so later, she, together with the blessing of the aging owner, Sam Nolan, was running his company. During this time, she met Sam's daughter who soon became her best friend or BFF, as she was fond of saying. They shared a passion and sailed together, both in Iowa and Washington state. Then Teressa met and married David and her whole life changed yet again. Like her, he was divorced, yet somehow, she shared a connection with him she had never experienced before, not with her husband nor her children. David seemed to release in her emotions long suppressed. She was becoming the woman she always wanted to be. David said it was God's work, but she didn't believe in "his God"--no, that was nonsense and would never do.
