That's good advice, Hollywood. You just can't leave children, however. Or your parents when they are dying. Or the dying dog :-(. Maybe love is the culprit of expectations- friendships have been better for me, now that I think of it. And I married under the old model- whereas my daughter has a very different balance in her marriage. Okay, I won't be a hussie. I'll look for a gent who likes to play Scrabble and Gin Rummy and is able to remember thousands of jokes- I love to laugh. Sandra Day O'Connor's husband has Alzheimers and has two girlfriends that keep him busy much to Her Honor's relief! I just like to stomp around some thoughts like a Brave on the warpath. They pass or I realize I have a short story floating in my head that disappears- like a cool breeze!
