Raindrops of her death

Raindrops of her death

Coming from a very influential, well bred and very well off family in the south. The boys all came running when she became dating age. Her father had always told her to find the true one. They were all after her money. She was skeptical. This is until she met him.

He was the one, he was good enough for her father and he was a bad boy out of ear shot. It was late in her senior year of college that she was starting to get ill. They saw dr's and specialist but nobody could figure out what was wrong. They were scheduled to be married in the next three months and she wanted nothing to destroy her perfect day. The day that he would be hers for ever. He was so sweet when she had her bouts of sickness he always brought her tea. She called them her raindrops of heaven they tasted so good. He got me a glass of tea one night it was good but it wasn't raindrops of heaven if nothing else it was Lipton.

The wedding was the most beautiful thing, They drank each others tear in little vials to wash away any future tears. I remember now that she remarked that even his tears tastes like raindrops of heaven. She fell ill again on her honeymoon, she told her mother on the phone that she was so proud that he had stayed by her bedside and bringing her, his special tea.

They came home to a new house and all new furnishings there was nothing out of the ordinary about their life. She didn't work she didn't have to. She had gotten a five million dollar trust fund when she was married. He loved animals so they had bought and built on a ranch. The only thing missing was the babies. She desperately wanted babies. So they went to Dr's who told them that he had a low sperm count and it could be all the riding horses, so he stopped riding as much and started breeding and selling them he was a good rancher. Also, the doctors still were not sure what was wrong with her, it seemed to come in spurts.

Finally the joyous day arrived and she found out that she was pregnant. She wondered while she was pregnant if there was something wrong. he had not made her his special tea the whole pregnancy. They shopped together and took a vacation. Greece was beautiful and they had never been more in love. When they got back from Greece they made the babies room just how they wanted it and even hired a live in nanny to cater to the little dears every whim. I personally thought it was a bit much she didn't even work for heavens sake. The nanny was a sweet girl though brought
