I was married to a wonderful woman for 30 years. We split, amicably as we had different goals, etc. The "nice" thing is that we stay in touch and are friends. She has remarried as have I.
Recently, her father passed away. He was visiting my "ex's" sister in Virginia, during Christmas. Short story is that he fell, went into the hospital to repair his damaged hip and, because of lousy treatment, went into a coma, couldn't take food and passed away yesterday. There is a VERY good case for lawsuit due to neglect and I hope they persue it. I guess I just need to vent a bit. I worked with and for Ray for many years. He was a Navy guy and a hero in more than one way. I'll miss him, his humour, his advice and the times we shared together. While I know "No one gets out of this life alive," it still hurts when you lose someone you love.
