Jeremy future past

 When I met Jeremy we were both pretty much homeless.  He was still staying with Barefoot but had already been told to leave (the home he helped Barefoot buy!) and I was with Mom but she didn't want me with Jeremy yet and Mike really wanted me out of Houston.  Jeremy's mom flew down to rescue him (from me) (and Stacy,  but that's another story!) and Mike arranged for me to fly back to Omaha (another BAD story!!) No one wanted me in Omaha,  I ended up living behind a gas station with my b belongings in a laundry basket until a kind woman saw me there and took me in.  I ended up in The Spring Center for battered women (wow! another story!) and I called Jeremy who said to go to him at his mom's in Oklahoma. We were there until my appendix exploded, Mikey picked us up and took us to Bellevue,  I ended up back in the hospital,  Immanuel,  and Mikey threw Jeremy out so he came and stayed with me at Immanuel until I was discharged.  That was all ANOTHER horrific story but Mom rescued us.  She heard about my hospital stay in Oklahoma and Omaha,  how Jeremy never left my side either time,  and she became a HUGE  Jeremy fan.  She sent bus tickets and we went to her.  The first thing she did was give Jeremy the Manuel book for her car and the keys.  It was her symbolic acceptance of him.  We stayed there until she went in the hospital.  By then Barefoot was in prison so we went to his place. It was much older then Mom's but,  bad as it was,  much more liveable. Less mice. Another Story. Barefoot's trailer was falling apart,  big holes in the floors, rotting. I mentioned how I always wanted to live in a Teepee and by God Jeremy found what he needed an built us a teepee the next day!! The months in that teepee at the back of Barefoot's property were the bassist days of my whole life.  Definitely another story! Then Jami called,  in labor with a baby we didnt know she was pregnant with, strung out on meth and oxycontin and she wanted me There To Help even tho There wouldn't be much I could do since I was no longer a Nebraska resident.  We packed everything we could and both came to Nebraska.  Jami promised that Mikey would either return us home or take us to her our things from Texasbut we both brought everything we corks of things that meant something to us.  Good thing because we never got back to Texas even to get our belongings. Mikey threw Jami and us out of the house to play like he wasn't addicted to drugs so he could get Joey and Michelle.  He lost Lindsey day 2. We would have ended up homeless here again but this time Pat and Jess took us in. Another Story. I finally got my SSI settlement 8 months later and we got a real home.  Had a home ever since.  Wherever we lived,  I made SURE rent was ALWAYS paid no matter what else we had to lose or do without.
