Mike and I were due to get engaged on my 21st birthday - instead, however, he told me he "didn't think he loved me" and decided to go off and see some of the world. I was heartbroken and took up smoking - made myself physically sick, but persevered.For some perverse reason I thought he might love me if I smoked - what a fool! I enrolled for Registered General Nursing and was accepted - I met the most wonderful man, Bill, who was older than my father at the time - both my parents liked Bill very much, and my life was getting back on track. Bill thought the world of me and my nursing career was going brilliantly.
