Try to picture a young man in his mid forties planning his wife's funeral. They have raised six wonderful children, owned a successful business in a climate of economic turn-down, had grandchildren and everything to look forward to..... but he's choosing a funeral venue. Cancer sucks! Years later, this same man in his early seventies, (his Golden Years) is seen sitting at the table planning his wife's funeral. They have built a wonderful house in the country near a glorious, smooth pond. They've enjoyed wintering in the south and a bit of travel. Cancer sucks! Now again in his early eighties, his hair gray, wrinkles of wisdom and a good life etched on his sad face, he plans his wife's funeral. His last few years were filled with travel, the arts, peaceful canoe trips, retirement and a wonderful life many never get to enjoy. Cancer Sucks!
Many of us are never lucky enough to find a mate to share our life with. Few of us are lucky enough to find it more than once. If you have it....cherish it.... Life is often very short!
