A most telling and honest story of a life filled with many challenges. Bob this reaches down into the depths of the heart for the reader, and no doubt for the writer. Kindest from Fay.

Bob we have followed almost parallel paths through life. Like most people I married because I thought I had found the right partner.No dobt my hormones played a major role. That maariage came to an end after 42 years >My wife was a chronic depressive which gradually developed into paranoia >I had to call it a day to preserve my own sanity I was alone for some years until I met my lady another writer at a writing club meeting. I did not believe in love at first sight bur I wa wrong again She too had afailed marriage behind her. Neither of us were looking for new partners too many unhappy memories. But we had no choice and were married within a few months.Our respective kids accepted the new arrangement quite happily The best decision I ever made in my life Four years on we are still on honeymoon. ivor
What an honest and painful at times I imagine to write what I take to be autobiography in verse. Our hearts reach out to such admissions Bob, and many I am sure will benefit from the utmost candour of the piece. Truth will always give it's own reward in the end. Love from Fay.
A wonderful explanation of life written so eloquent with your flair. Splendid work Bob... I think all can relate.
Sometimes it takes a ton of struggling and half a lifetime to get where you want to be. A most uplifting poem, Bob, and one which, I'm sure, many will take comfort from. Thank you, dear friend, for sharing this with us. Love, Fran xxx
What a beautiful acknowledgement that there can be no half-measures about life! Thank you.
A serenely beautiful piece of self-acceptance Bob. t x
