Girl Gay, ‘Mom.Glum By Abigail Van Buren ” ¢ 1978 by Chicago TribuneN.¥. News Gynd. ine. DEAR ABBY: Our 25-year-old daughter (I'll call her Rut is coming home to visit and wants to bring her girlfriend. . Last year Ruth told us that she is a lesbian. We are sick about it, and are praying it won't last. ; We can't understand how this happened. We raised three other children, and they turned out normal. ‘ We're afraid if we tell Ruth she can't bring her girlfriend she might not come home at all. We love her regardless, and don’t want lo drive her away. / ~ Qur problem is what to do about the sleeping ar- rangements. If Ruth were normal, we wouldn't put her up with her boyfriend because we don't approve of pre-marital, sex, But how about Ruth and her girlfriend? We don't ap- prove of their brand of sex, even though they couldn't marry if they wanted to. Please help us. CONFUSED IN SBATTLE . ! DEAR CONFUSED: If you love your daughter, make her girliriend welcome. Put them up im separate beds and don't make an issue of it. ; DEAR ABBY: I just read the létter in your cuvumn from SISTER to her brother-concerning their mother. SISTER said her brather wanted to pul their invalid mother ina home 10 years ago, but she wouldn't do it, then she goes on ‘to list the hardships she's endured caring for their mother all these yeai's. ; Abby, I work ina care center, also called a nursing home. It's clean, modei'n and-odorless. [t has 24-hour nursing care, physical therapy to keep residents as fit as possible.,and recreational therapy that includes activities such as shop- ping’ trips, holiday parlies, bowling, craits, music, Bible study, church services, Bingo, mavies, etc. Cur care center is not extraordinary in its services. There are set standards thal all nursing homes must meet in order to be accredited every year. _ A nursing home is nota dungeon-like place where old peo- ple are sent to die. It is a place Lo continue to liye when a person is unable to live alone or care for himself. WA N DEAR IOWAN: It sounds like paradise. Please cond name, location and rates. : DEAR ABBY: Please don't throw this away thinking it's from some nut. I'm serious. [ have a dream. I want to be mar- ried on ice skates al my favorite skating rink in Washington, D.C., on Valentine's Day in 1981. My problem is, where do ] go from here’? I'm a figure skater; that’s why I want to get married on skates. The best wedding present I could have would be to realize my dream, but 1 don't know how to go-about it. Or do you think my dream is too weird? DREAMER DEAR DREAMER: Couples‘have been married under water, in hot air balloons, on motorcycles and on horseback, eo your dream isn't all that weird. Get in touch with your department of public parke, and see if it's possible. If it is, all you need is a good skate to marry you. .
