My wife Peggy had surgery last week, and I'm hoping to have one of my own just as soon as she's over hers enough to care for me. I don't know how people manage who aren't married. Friends are good too, of course, but there's nothing like sharing the bad times with someone whose life is inseparably bound to yours both in good times and in bad.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095807065479059898.post-63864378352853864762011-03-16T07:25:23.909-07:002011-03-16T07:25:23.909-07:00I didn't realize you were having surgery eithe...I didn't realize you were having surgery either.
