Safe Place

Have you ever been a Safe place
for someone? A place where a
friend can come to get away?

Now days there are shelters for
women or women with children to
go to. Thank heavens for that. And
to those who help keep them in
place.

But in the 60's and 70's there were
very few if any. So a woman had to
depend on a friend, or sit it out in
their home. Sometimes friends
didn't want to help, in fear they too,
would be harmed.

There were times friends came to me,
to just cool off, after a heavy fight.
Stay the night and go back the
next day. Some times, they would
run for their lives, and stay a week.
One time it was a man and his
children who came to my husband
and I for help.
