I definitely have to agree with you on this post. When my husband of 17 years left me 6 years ago I thought my life was over. Boy was I wrong! I have learned to take care of myself and my home on my own. My teenaged daughter and I have fixed numerous things around the house over the years. My only problem is I am barely 5'2" tall! My kitties and Casey are much better snugglers than my husband ever was.
