His wife died a about 5 years ago...they did everything together.......instead of giving up he learned how to cook...and decided to do this great long pilgrimage walk through North Spain..that you do in stages....by himself...his wife Wouldn't have....
Last year when he was there he found himself a lady friend.....platonic....but they loved going out for meals together...and her showing him all the local places of interest....best food places.
On Fridays him and hubby go out down the village for lunch and some vino........they had a good afternoon.....no indication of anything wrong....
His son phoned him friday night and said he was slurring a bit......but...they Had been out.....
Then they lost contact....and whatever happened so Fast he couldn't get to the phone for help.....
Worse for the family....but I'd much rather go like that than something like alzheimers.......I've seen both sides of the coin....
....and I'd Prefer the fast option.
Celebrate the Life Lived.........
