Re: The fickle finger of fate
Hi
Things happen in life, it is how you cope with them which is the important thing.
We all have our dreams, mine was to give my kids a much better life than I had as a child
That I achieved
I had a life changing injury in 1989, after 2 years of operations, told I would never walk or work again.
I did both.
I spent 3 weeks short of 25 ears married to a woman I was completely in love with, only to find out it was a complete sham.
The last two years have been hell, a simple thing turned into an operation and MRSA
My past came back to haunt me, PTSD.
The Manchester Bombing was hell for me, so many memories locked away come back to haunt.
The thing is, you can bounce back and no matter how black it looks, you can, and you should.
I am 65 now, downsizing but I will get a nice lady to spend the rest of my life with, hopefully one who likes travelling, so much of the world yet to see, so many things yet to do.
Yesterday I met an old acquaintance, married for 41 years, his wife died of cancer years ago.
Now 72, he has met a lovely lady and they are now living together, like a pair of teenagers.
There is hope for all of us.
Life is what you make it.
