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.

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

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. .

CONFIDENTIAL TO “NEEDS IDEAS IN CAMDEN,
N.J.": Consider a career in podiatry. Women's shoes today
are certain te provide the foot docters of tomorrow with
more patients than they can handle. ‘
