Growing Up in Bandera

Coming up on four years since I lost my partner in life. Fifty-six years was not enough. Pure and simple, it just wasn't enough. I spent way too many years being young and acting like a fool but she always forgave me even before I asked God to forgive me.

Not a day passes by that I don't think about how I could have done so much more for her. She never asked for things for herself, it was always about others. I can't even imagine how spoiled our great grandkids would be today had she been around a little longer. Lord knows she did her best while she was here.

She spoiled me so much that now I don't even know what to buy myself when it comes to clothes. She always picked out everything I wore. I buy things thinking I need them but they end up adding to a wardrobe in an already crammed full closet. I have about ten pairs of shoes and only wear two. Thirty or forty shirts and I wear the same four or five day after day. I'm stuck in the comfort zone she created for me.
