Our daughter at lake Michigan on June 30, 2019 three days after Jeannette is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer

I never live alone until Jeannette dies on October 14, 2022. I grow up in a family of four boys. After my older brothers go off to college, I do get my own room, but still live with family. All four years at the University of Michigan, I have roommates. After college, I go back to live with family for a few months. Then, Jeannette and I are married and live together for 42 years.

How about you? Do you live alone? Are you single or are you married? (I’m not asking for a date, just asking you for a one word comment…"single or married”). To read past the comment, since I am sharing even more personally than usual today, I am also asking for a subscription.
