"[illegible]" I'd say from my wife, but she would be much older than me. It's just too hard to get through the years. She's always been so kind and gentle, but I can't help it. It's just too hard. And then there's the money. We have enough for now, but what if something happens? What if we lose our home? I don't know. Maybe we should just stay here and wait until things get better. But I'm not sure that will work out in the end. Maybe it was easier than we thought. Maybe she didn't want to be with me anymore, but I never knew how much she loved me. Or maybe she did love me, but she just couldn't handle being married to someone who wasn't happy with her choices.
