Being alone doesn’t have to be that bad.

My wife of 13 years died last year, and i’m alone now.

I was alone for much of my younger years, and i’ve gotten used to being alone again; it’s not so bad, doing what you want, when you want.

Do you have kids?
I don’t have kids. (And like me, my wife never wanted kids; so she didn’t have any either.)
Also, the rest of my family is mostly dead or far away; so i don’t have to worry about that.

It’s a nice quiet existence.

And it is easier, being alone. Not having to keep track of a whole ‘nother life; one is more than enough for me. Sure, nobody to tell stuff to; but when you’re older, there isn’t so much to tell anyway.

Life slows down, but time speeds up. The years go by, one after another.

Enjoy what you can.
