13 OVER SIXTY

I've reached the age of sixty, and most things are slowing down wild parties are a memory, and so is painting up the town these days we tend to settle on a simple meal for two with a nice refreshing glass of wine, to see the evening through we spent the weekends going out driving, which helped me to unwind it gave us both a break, from life's daily grind we'd often stop to take a look at a tranquil country scene back home we used to reminisce, about the places we had been but my husbands health is failing, he just doesn't seem the same he's had a lot of major issues, all of which he overcame his mind it seems to wander, it's like sometimes he's not here but thinking how he used to be, I often shed a tear it was hard to see my husband look so small and oh so frail I still wanted to picture him, as that tall strong handsome male but no matter what the outcome, my love for him stays strong I'll always be right here for you, no matter for how long but yet again our lives would change, in a truly shocking way I'd had a simple routine check-up on what was a normal day your results will take a fortnight, come back to get the answer it was then that they informed me, you have now developed cancer.
