I had just moved into this town. I bought a house in the neighborhood using my retirement money. I was trying to get used to my new environment and a new life. The life I had known all these years was a hectic one. Driving to work as early as 6 am then arriving home at 7 pm. My three children have grown up and all of them had a successful career each. My wif...
Note to the readers. Just wanted to say thank you for reading and liking my stories so far. I am humbled by your kind words.

We had several meetings prior to this and basically all of the planning was finished. This particular get together was more of a congratulation party prior to the fund raising event. Some of the women I've know f...

It seems amazing to think he'll turn 40 next year, to me he'll always be my little boy. Fred loved him dearly too; he never said anything, ever, but over the years, I've sometimes wondered...
