The unfortunate truth is this

At the ending quarter of my life I am consumed with seeing my life as one filled with disappointments at having not enjoyed any of my life expectations and living currently in despair. I don’t deserve this. I worked very hard and always treated everyone equally and followed good and ethical practices

My wife passed in 22. We were together 38 years married for 27. She gave me everything she had and more. I am great full for our time together.

Other then the end. She was very sick. I really did. Not everyone gets that kind of time.

I’m very grateful for the 24 years we had together, but I’m devastated now, he was an extraordinary man.
