Had another take a step back and look at things moment today at work.
We have an employee named Art who has been with our company around 10 years, probably more. I came to Madison and he was always a friendly face with infinite patience and a joy about life, especially since he's an 80 year-old stroke survivor. His wife of 57 years recently passed away and it got me thinking about 57 YEARS together? How amazing despite all that happened around them that for 57 years they had each other through thick and thin. World War II until now they were in love. It's just a beautiful, polarizing thought about how life is supposed to be. It's just horrifying thinking now Art is alone. He has children and grandchildren, and even two great-grandchildren, but the women that was his high school sweetheart during World War II is now gone. I honestly hope that he can cook for himself among other things. He's smart and capable, but he probably hasn't had to cook for himself, or for all I know even go grocery shopping, for the last 20 years. It just eats me up thinking about it.
Just getting it off my chest kids. I promise more diatribes or movie reviews to follow.
On a light hearted note HOW HOT ARE THE WOMEN CURLERS FOR CANADA, DENMARK, AND MOST OF THE USA?
I feel what you mean. It's scary shit. I think that's why some people chose to stay alone, just so they don't have to deal with that terrible loss. Scares the shit out of me, I know that.
