No worries. I get it. I mean not really. But kind of. A different kind of, but you know.

I know. I'm 60 years old. It's happened a few times both ways. I'm not sure it hurts any less, butaybe if feelsess personal as you get older.

I don't know, man, at least you've had long lasting meaningful relationships. I have had peace, but never got to make a family. I figure, whatever you do in life it evens out more or less in the end. There's about as much happiness for everyone in a run. Maybe someday I might luck out and meet the woman of my dreams. We'll get a house, get married, have kids, a family together and a good life. But if that doesn't pan out, there's always hookers and cocaine.
