Congratulations.
There is an enormous difference between glitter and gold and it seems to me that you have realised this very fact.
I have known wonderful people who had little and gave so much.
Packed funerals.
I'd ask how did you know her ? They fed me when my alcoholic dad provided nothing or she was good at loaves and fishes and mum was never home.
Some will never get an O.A. more's the pity.
I don't have enough hours in the day since retiring and when I think back on my career and how much I fitted in it just exhausts me.
Well payed for a job that was often so enjoyable that I couldn't believe I was getting paid to do.
After retiring I was also able to do voluntary work which I was only to happy to do.
Someone once asked me why because it involved a lot. My answer was always because there but for the grace of God go I.
(I'm not religious by the way).
It takes so little for anyone to slip through the cracks in life. Bad business decisions, people not paying debts, nasty marriage break up, ill health etc.
Too many things can go wrong at the wrong time and we all may need help one day.
Such a pleasure and although I've mentioned it here, few people know and that's the way it will stay.
