Bill, you are young! To me that means you got lots of time to meet, discover, and inspire a lady who has the same mind as you. I look at my marriage now as the best one I had. This is my fourth marriage. I got it right finally. She didn't leave me after my stroke. She quit her job for two years until I was back on my feet so to speak.

I would do the same for her any day. You are a very nice gentleman and good things come to those who wait. Look around, keep your eyes open, your heart ready, the rest will come in due time. Go about your daily tasks and before you know it things will turn your way.

I met my wife at the bank of all places and it was her as a supervisor who stepped up to help one of her tellers handle my banking request. I was trying to send money to another woman I had met to help pay the phone bill where she accepted my long distance calls to her.

If the subject came up I would tell them I had a stroke from a car accident years ago but have recovered in many ways. Leave it at that.

Bill,

Just be patient. You are young as Fred says. Good things come to those who wait. People do have a difficult time understanding a stroke. The cognitive issues are very hard to explain. They do become apparent. So yes, be honest and upfront with who every you meet...that is the best policy.

Ruth

Thank you
