I normally don't shed tears over old people, they're yucky and nuts. I mean I don't wish them harm or anything, but they just don't get my emotions going. The same with cats.

It was the love for me...they were holding hands.
My son was at the hospital a month or so ago, visiting a friend.
They were only allowed 2 visitors at a time, so when the kids mother
showed up, my son went to the hallway to wait. Across the hallway,
there was an old couple, who, the nurse later told him, had been married
68 years. The woman was dying, and the husband was sitting beside her,
singing a love song. He sang it over and over again, tears streaming.
He sang her to her next life. My son overheard the family talking after
the woman had passed, and apparently it was the song that he sang
to her at their wedding. It was their song.
It still chokes me up to hear that story...
That kind of love isnt as common these days. Im lucky enough to have found
it for myself, so I guess thats why it gets to me.

Every. damn. day.

in my job...there are a lot of tears.

I wish I could absorb the wisdom of all the older people and use it. But history is a cruel mistress. And I am just a person intent on my own life. For what it's worth...........

Every chance I get to sit with the elderly, I do so.
Their stories are so compelling, their wisdom is
first hand knowledge and hard bought, at that.
They didnt whine, they didnt bitch, they never
considered a government handout. They did what
they had to to do, when they had to do it. Simple
as that. I love that grit and determination...

. . . and pilfering their valuables when they nod off!

Elderly people are a pain in the ass, especially when they hire you to do something around their house, they obsess over stupid things. You're on your death bed, are your downspout extensions really that important, pal. Your pants are full of shit, but God forbid the Oleander gets washed out.

If you're short on pillows, just PM me.

Oh puleeze....how long have you been with your spouse? When you get to 50+ years, you might be able to START to empathize.

24 years in March...
We actually knew each other 3 days when he asked me to marry him.
I said yes.
Day 4 I found out his last name.
We have 3 children and a grandson.

I would come unglued at every seam if one of my children did that...

I would never say never, but as things stand today, there is no divorce
anywhere on the horizon. We are very happy...true story.

Do you ever see things in a positive light? ever?

There's a time and a place. If you want rainbows and puppy dogs, I'd suggest you visit another website. I'm not here to stroke your sappy/whiney/needy self.

That said, good for you/yours. If you don't get that, fuck you.

I dont expect rainbows and puppy dogs...it was just a general all-inclusive question.

I do get it, and thank you, sugar britches

Meh. You stuck around and didn't do a hair flip, dramatic exit post or anything PLUS you had a rocking Imacunt/Maytee halloween avatar.

Pass.

You can borrow my cunt anytime, sugar britches.
