I think we all have a fear of the future. Our lives are so uncertain, having to depend on others for every little thing. Sometimes I think it would be so much easier just to end it. At age 65 and 46 years post I keep thinking I can’t last much longer. But I keep on going. It gets harder everyday though, pain,weakness, depression, loss of purpose. Add to that arthritis, mouth and teeth problems, and stomach and bowel problems. The ones that have ripped me in the last few years though — wife has developed heart failure, had to quit work. This put our income in the poverty level just as medical bills have skyrocketed. Most difficult to face — watching so many family and friends pass away. At my age those people who have been my rock through the years are passing away. Dad is gone and mom is 84. Countless others are gone as well. I’ll stop here and wipe the tears. God bless you, my quad peeps. Sent from my iPad
