Your comments on marriage/single status brought to mind my Annus horribilis - 2011. I much prefer the marriage status.
2011,
January 19th , my lovely cat died aged about 21 years old.
Found her under the bed of my bedridden mother when I was going to see to my mum’s needs in the morning.
March 31st, mother died after a year being bedridden. Admitted to hospital a week before she cast off the mortal coil. (93)
June 23rd, wife died in hospital after three years of pain, suffering and endless hosp. visits for weekly treatment. (66)
Now I am alone in a four bed semi but not lonely. Sharing with some-one new is out of the question. I’d much rather have the misses pottering around or doing her own thing somewhere in the vicinity, helping mum out with her crossword puzzles, answering the cat’s request for food or attention. All of these wishes will never be possible ever again except in the memory cells. I have accepted that I am now alone in this large empty dwelling but I have family in and around the area who ensure that I am not alone in the world.
Sorry to put a damper on Magic’s humorous missive, that was not my intention. Even after all this time I still feel the need to express my grief and our Magic provided this outlet. Thanks Magic.
