I’ve been widowed for some time and have never given any thought to being remarried. We were so young when it happened that life just took over. I was on my own now and life was good enough.
I’ve worked as a metal fabricator, welder, and mechanic for most of my life, which helped me become my own boss. It allowed me to easily afford putting my kids through college and to have a good life and home. I’m attractive, with a graying beard, muscular and I’m covered in tats. I’ve been on many dating and quick fuck aps and have preferred being relationship free.
I used to hate my birthdays and going to the amusement park. Still do, but the park was something we did every summer. My kids made my birthday important too now, because they were off living their own lives. They’d stay a week and go off again, text almost daily, and let the old man handle some of their problems and then show back up for the winter holidays. Always their mom’s favorite.
