It wasn’t supposed to be like this
Their lives together began with challenges, a new baby and a new life together all at the same time. But through the years this couple made it work. Over time this little family grew, four little girls completed this special group . Life was good. The golden years were a treasure worth waiting for, a lifetime together, family raised and grandbabies to cherish. The past remembered fondly and a future to be shared together.
Instead fate has played a different hand and the golden years have tarnished. Changes came slowly, things forgotten, items misplaced, memories mislaid. A partner is slowly slipping away; the once vibrant man has become a shadow of the one he once was. Daily, the trials become more, the constant hardship slowly wearing away a woman’s heart and soul.
Still she hangs on, striving to maintain, to handle what is becoming more and more impossible. The circle that began so many years ago has come around completely. Daily life is now just another day to mark off the calendar. Often she’s thinks back those fifty some years ago, when together they were just beginning, never imagining to find herself in the place she is today. Never believing that she would lose the one she loves like this.
And oh so slowly her heart begins to break.
