Not for sissies...

Statistics always show that a woman lives longer than a man. It absolutely pays to be prepared.  My husband’s grandmother didn’t drive and when her husband died she could not even write a check.  We had public busses then, as few people had cars. She somehow managed to survive; women are really good at doing that.
I don’t know what I miss the most about losing my husband, but companionship ranks really high on the list.
