I never thought it would be like this. I realized in the back of my mind that I would probably outlive my husband. I didn't think I would start doing it at the age of fifty-three.
We purchased this house with the idea that renovating it would be our hobby for the next fifteen years or so. Some of the things left to do would have been so much easier if two people were working on them.
The loneliness is crushing sometimes, even for someone like me who prefers to be alone a lot.
