My wife is pretty sick as of late. The cancer has been hard on her and the meds are hard on her too. I know she really has been thru the wringer for a long time now. It just seems like more appointments more tests and the outcome is not good for the long haul. The cancer is terminal, metastasized and liable to show up anywhere. Her Doc said she has a life expectancy of 2 to 3 years. I am there fighting the fight along with her and we will be strong for one another.
I seem to think a lot before going to sleep. My mind wanders on everything. I try to remember my childhood and different parts of it. I was thinking tonite about the furnace we had, It was in the floor with a grate over it in the hallway. The furnace burned oil and at night you could see the glow from the fire on the walls when the lights were off. I don't remember how the settings on it probably because I wasn't allowed to mess with them. It kept us warm in the winter and that's what counted I suppose. I do remember the oil tank behind the bathroom window out back of the house. we had a gas range and Mommas cooked every meal. She was a great cook and I didn't appreciate it when I was kid but when I went off to the Army and came back home I did!
They say you cannot live in the past but it's nice to visit from time to time. I miss the people of those times and wish I could still talk to them. I miss my loved ones who are gone now and many friends who have gone before me.
I found an old friend and had a great time chatting on facebook. He's a writer and has a book on Kindle. I read just about all of it at one sitting as they used to say. It's good and I hope he writes many more. Best of luck my friend,
I need to go on to bed its about 230AM. The good thing about retirement you can stay up as late as you want. Take a nap during the day if you get tired. Just an old lazy bones, that's me.
This picture is for my old friend who may enjoy it. I took it at Ft Moultrie SC.
