It is getting close to what would have been our 49th anniversary. Hard to believe it was that many years ago. I was remembering the night we became engaged. My mother wasn’t happy for me just critical. Through our 38 years together we sacrificed a lot. I worked two jobs and Troy worked his butt off programming. We missed out on a lot so that others wishes could come true. I wish I had known then what I know now, that someone could be so ungrateful for all the sacrifices made for him. I appreciated everything my parents did for me, no matter how small. I guess I expected the same, but what disappointment I have seen the last few years. To be thrown out like trash, something I could never do. Everything changes when you become widowed, there is really no one you can count on in your family. They don’t care. They are too busy seeing what they can get out of the deal. They come over to your house and just help themselves to your property. And once they have gotten all they wanted, they toss you to the side. If only I had known…..
