Those years, that flew on by one decade past, included twelve of us whose lives were fun. For sure, we felt those pleasant times would last to share as one until our days were done. We did not know this time would be so sad- as in our senior years, most were not spared. And one by one, they left until we had just five left in our group as illness flared. Just five left now to reminisce, compound how visits, trips, and cruises- sparked our years- when each of us, with spouses, gathered round. Now with fond memories- we soothe our tears.
