My 3rd wife of 31 years if she makes it to Dec 2nd would be the first to confirm that. She is in a rest home and has a bone infection from a broken hip (replaced 3 years ago) thats gone septic and is very painful. But she has said several times in the last 2 days that she has hurt long enough, get it over with so they are not going to operate to try and clean it up. So I may be alone before that 31st anniversary rolls around. That will make 3 women I've outlived. The first gave me two girls and a boy, in the decade before she had a stroke and died, all are gone now. I still miss her. The 2nd gave me 3 more boys who've done well, And Dee and I were both neutered long ago. So I've been alone for about 4 months now. A man isn't supposed to outlive his kids but I seem to have the nack. Right now its day by day.
