Where did Susie go?

      Well, as you know, my Mom was a child of the '60s and '70s.  I guess.  No, I know she was a child of the hippie era.  Even up to the last time I spoke to her about 12 or 13 years ago (I think Anthony was in the 5th grade), she had a raspy voice and talked with singing-like sentences.  You know those people who stretch out their words when they speak, almost like they are whining but not whining.

     Anyhoo, of course, I don't remember what happened during their short-term marriage.  Don't know if there was a lot of fighting, who the guilty person was, or why they ended up divorced.  I think the marriage lasted for maybe two years. It is funny because my Mom never spoke ill of Steven.  In fact, she never spoke ill of any of the men that she had kids with.  I think it may have been due to her being in the wrong.  She probably knew whatever happened to end any of the relationships was due to something she did. 

   Now, from what I am told, my brother Steve went with his father Steven, and I went with my Mom.  I wasn't with my Mom for too long before she felt as though she couldn't take care of me.  She felt as though leaving me at a church with a coloring book was the best route for leaving me.  I do have to give her kudos for that departure though.  I should feel "blessed" literally, for being left on a church pew with a coloring book at two years old.  And I am happy that she had enough knowledge to let the pastor know I was there. I was left sitting on the pew in a dirty wet diaper coloring. 
 
 My Grandparents got a phone call from the pastor to come and pick me up.  I don't know the entire story behind how the Pastor knew who to call. And there you have it, this is how I ended up with my Grandparents.  I think they did have to go to court for custody, and Steven (my so-called Father) told the court that I was not his child.  Thank God for my Grandparents choosing to pick me up.  I am not sure where I would have been if they didn't. 

   Where did Susie go?  Why did she leave her child?
