It is terrible, we went through it- horrible disease or condition. There’s quite a bit of helpful advice now on the net- we didn’t know anything about it when we had to deal with it. Had to ,earn by making mistakes, many actually. We just didn’t know what was going on. Thought in the beginning the person was just being difficult on purpose- later we found out what was wrong an how to handle it.
AS THE Who song goes, I hope I die before I get old.
I don’t want to die before I get old, but I do want to leave something behind before I do. I’m 55, so there’s no time to waste. I’ve chosen to write. I’ve published one book on Amazon KDP and I hope to publish another before year’s end (and I have a hundred pages written of a third one). I don’t know if it constitutes leaving the world better than how I found it, but I’m doing my best.
Looking back, it’s a bit ironic. I made my career in software engineering. The army personnel flying Chinooks are flying something that has a bit of me in it. Same for Navy personnel who use certain comms. But I’ve always wanted to write, so after being laid off that’s the path I’m pursuing.
