HC - I wouldn't worry - you got at least another 10 good years left - if not more.
Your words of wisdom would surely be missed. Every person I know has a different outlook on life and what they've accomplish during it.

For me I'm surprised that I didn't die long ago. Could've twice but the Almighty was there and said - it isn't your time yet. So be it - we take those close call's to heart. I catch myself reflecting more about the past then I do the future - what ever future I may have?
-
I appreciate things more than I did years ago. Getting a little cranky at times but still working through family issues which test the waters off and on. I'm grateful for what I have and for the family we've managed to raise.

My wife struggles with her medical condition everyday! She's slipping a little more each year and still she's the most remarkable woman I've ever known. I knew she was the right one almost immediately when I met her.

I've learned much from you and other's on the Patriot Files site. It's been an honor to know such people like you all - who bring about an emotional response when your threads are posted. I'm sure many more will come our way - from - The Hardcore.

Being slightly older than us your post make us each think of what we just read.

We all tend take life for granted and have to deal with what is given us. We are all different in many ways. We don't think a lot about the future like we used to. We take each day - and are grateful them - that we may have another one - tomorrow. My day dreams no longer reach the goals I used to set for myself. My only goal today is my Wife, Daughters and Grandkids. I acquired plenty mileage in my life and what I've learned on that path was tough at times. I'm a Chicago born kid who had to work his way through many difficulties growing up. My Father was married five times and mother four times. Kinda spells out the issues they both had - but I learned that if and when I was to marry - it would be 1X only - and it worked. That's because I didn't want my kids knowing what it feels like having these issues and family separations.

Yes a thief is still a thief - and always will be. To me the world is always at war - when will the world be at Peace (or will it ever) - that's the question? I reckon not for some time yet!
-
But I will close for now and once again thank you HC for your talents, abilities and especially your well formatted post!
