Request #273 From Marvy

I think the title was The Me I Used To Be. It’s a middle aged woman who has recently been proposed to by her middle aged boyfriend but needs closure from her first love first. They had sex one night, he disappears, she is pregnant and never hears from him again. She gives up her baby,a girl for adoption. I think it was before or after the proposal a teenage boy appears on her day claiming to be her grandchild – the son of the daughter she had given away many years ago. Now, an opportunity has risen its head. She says she needs her first love to know they had a child and now a grandchild and Grandmother and son set off to find that man of many years ago. They found him and it turns out he had been drafted into the war with Vietnam. He had not told her because he did not want her waiting for him forever. I think he lost a leg in the war and now limps. Her picture was on his bedside and it’s obvious he had never forgotten her. The butterflies still fly between them and they kiss and almost have sex but they then decide to let their relationship be in the past and that they were different people now. Woman is reconciled with her grandson, has the closure she needs and returns home, ready to accept her boyfriend’s proposal.
