Seeing my engagement ring sitting on the shelves in the hall on top of an envelope, a note of explanation and goodbye. I had gone to work that day with a gnawing feeling of dread. I had no idea why. I decided to call my husbands work and asked for him. His boss’s words to me: You don’ know, “Oh David, David, David. “Donna you don’t know. He told me that he had gone back to San Francisco.”
I hung up and called my job. I told my boss I had to go. I only remember almost running to our apartment for about 5 miles. I had given him my engagement diamond so that he could return to College. He and I had such big dreams to be stars or he wanted a job to support me in a better fashion than being a hairdresser. This was a lie, the beginning of many that I fell into for I was so much in love. Blinded and naïve. It was a different world.
