Sorry to be out of the loop on what's going on with some of you peeps, sounds like many of us are dealing with some pretty significant situations and I will keep you in my thoughts!
My BF of over 9 years has been going through the tests and evaluations for a diagnosis of Alzheimer's at the VA Hospital. He has "failed" the first 3 and goes in for the 4th on Thursday. We have 13 years difference in our ages, he being 65, me 52, which is a good thing because I can shoulder the load and my health is excellent. We hadn't ever really thought of marriage seriously, but now it has a sense of security for Don, and I totally understand. I've been able to get several support systems, and educate myself on what the future will bring.
Kind of ironic that I finally find a man to spend the rest of my life with (after 2 marriages/divorces for me and 1 for him) and life throws us a curve ball. Who would have thought?
It is what it is. You never know what life will hand you, so take it slow and be good to yourself...and take that extra few moments to tell someone you love them. You never know when they will be gone.
So........my cart is ready to be checked out and I will be dropping off one of our trucks with my son at the mechanics just as Alice opens the portal, grrrrrrrrr.............
NOBODY better touch my Berrie lil' Cheesecake!!!!
Just kidding!

....no but seriously, I'm watching ALL of you!
