I needed that today after being stomped…again .
It seems I’ve had an angel on my shoulder in life .
Too many doors were opened for me that I can’t say I deserved – more than coincidence.
Example : I was on an interview trip for just one day in the mid-70’s and saw the most beautiful woman I had ever seen , on an escalator for a few seconds . Never forgot her . Ten years ( and two continents ) later I was in the midst of a divorce and a colleague at work started pestering me to meet his wife’s cousin . I put him off for close to a year , then finally relented . We were to meet at his home . When I got there and she turned around , it was the woman from the escalator . We married and spent the next 20 years together . You already know the story of her death . The only way I could turn my grief around , was to be thankful that I had been married to the woman of my dreams for 20 years .
At present I am poor , but happy , and healthy as a horse – not bad for someone pushing 80.
And I can add , married very happily for the past ten years to a very sweet Colombian woman , who is also a ‘looker’ ( beautiful ) . She ,unfortunately, is sliding into dementia , but can count on me to do all I can .
