One chilly December morning, I believe it was December 29 to be exact, Lynn and Clay awoke to realize they had to go to a late Christmas dinner at Lynn`s grandparent`s house. Lynn was 9 months pregnant and was over due by 25 days. Lynn and Clay both arose and began getting ready to go by waking up their son Christopher and getting themselves and him ready to leave. While Lynn was getting ready she felt her baby kicking a little more than normal. She thought nothing of it and figured it was normal.
Once they arrived at Pearl and Henry`s, Lynn`s grandparents house, they had their Christmas dinner. Clay`s parents had come all the way from Oklahoma to have Christmas dinner with their son, daughter in law, grandson, and soon to be grand daughter. Everyone enjoyed the meal and then opened presents. When everyone was done it was time for Clay`s parents and aunt, Herbert, Ann, and Mary, to leave.
Thirty minutes after Herbert, Ann, and Mary left Lynn began to feel weird. She went to the bathroom and there her water broke. She was going into labor.
Clay and Lynn hurried to the hospital leaving Christopher at Lynn`s grandparent`s house. Clay`s sister, Melissa, being sweet and kind left in search of Herbert and Ann hoping they hadn`t gotten too far. She was going to catch them so they could be at the hospital.
Back at the hospital Lynn waited all night in labor. On December 30, 1985 their brand new daughter was born. They named her Lindsay Michelle Benson. And yes Clay`s parents made it to the birth along with Lynn`s.
Lindsay had to stay in the hospital for a couple of days because she was so small. She only weighed four pounds ten ounces. She was then fine and sent home with her mother.
And this now begins my story of a young girl and her struggles in life and friendships of the ones she loves. Let`s begin…..
Write me and tell me what you think please. It`s still a work in progress and is having things added. Any suggestion I`m open to. Thank you. Bye!
