But for the grace of the Goddess....

Ran into the delightful elderly couple up the street, while the two were entering a neighbors' home from the work truck, to work at their dependable and never too expensive home service. They've done ours for years, working as equally talented cotechnicians. One of those six decade lovebird pairs, but now she is sadly in rapid decline, due to an illness, which she says the Boston specialists say was due to passsive cigarette smoke in the home and shoe factory, where she worked in lean business times. "And I never smoked nor drank." The community had a fund raising dinner recently for her. Good to see her continuing to try to work, but he'll be lost without her. Aa.

altar In these times of couples breaking up, people parting over trivial things it is heartwarming to hear about a couple who have obviously stuck together through 'better or worse' 'Sick or poor'.
That's why I sometimes think, not everything new and shiny is better than,the older days.

These couple sound like a hardworking, and hard loving pair . It is sad that a woman who worked so hard all her life, and who has somebody who is her soulmate, and who still has so much go in her, is in decline,

Some type of serious lung disease I am guessing. The annoying things is, passive smoking is worse . Lovely to hear, empathy and concern is still around in these times, having a fund raising Dinner for this wonderful lady was a really wonderful idea. As you rightly say, he will be totally lost without her.

Alot to be learnt from this short but poignant, sad story.sad flower

Really makes me rethink all my whining about all my many imagined woes, GG. You probably know the American (possibly Canadian) native peoples saying concerning walking a bit in another's moccasins, no? Aa.
