Forty-One Years: A Teenage Love Story - Tapa dura

Fourteen-year-old Joy McCormick was full of surprises. She married Jim Collier, the 16-year-old boyfriend and her best friend. She gave birth to a premature infant that not only survived but thrived at a time when most premature babies died. She even adopted Jim's son by her best friend as her own. She just smiled and shook her head when it was said her and Jim's marriage wouldn't last a year. They would celebrate 40 anniversaries. Joy let the man in the scrubs help her back to bed. Tomorrow was the big day. He had told her Jim was coming tomorrow to take her home. But there would be no visit the next day or any other day. Joy Collier would be having her breakfast as a matter of fact she would be having all her meals in Paradise, Eternity with her Jim from this day forward.
