I give all the singles so much credit. I am not sure I could do it with as much style or grace as what I have seen displayed here.

I have a friend who has been married for a while. she hasnt been the healthiest of creatures, but her husband makes it so much easier. He went to the dump and dropped off the weeks trash, and...dropped dead! He had been having chest pain for about a week, but didnt want to burden his poor wife with worry. Went to the MD who said his cholesterol was soaring, but he was in decent shape. When the MD asked about any pains, or worries, HE LIED! He said "nope, Im good doc." and because of his age, the EKG and work up was skipped. He mentioned it to a couple of buddies who encouraged him to spill it to his wife, but he never did.

I have seen so many widows in this little town who not only survive, but thrive, and have found a way to lean on each other, and take care of each other. I know that I would not be able to do as well, or survive and thrive with the same grace, and style of these women.

God Bless you, and keep you for you are strong women indeed.
