Oh, people say it all the time. It's behind my back or in the corner of the room, so they think that I I can't hear my wife instead. So my heart is broken, but my ears work fine. So I hear them saying It's not just one person. It's a a lot of people, my friends, co workers and even family members. It must console them to be able to say it to each other, to try to find something good about her depth, like thank God, At least they didn't have Children. But, you know, she had me. She left me behind. And maybe if I had Children, I could share some of this. This crippling pain with them it may be spreading it out between a few people would make it more bearable. But that's bad to see, I guess. Why share pain with someone else when you can absorb it all yourself? Maybe I would understand that. So sacrificing concept better if I were a father, but I'm not. I don't think it's a blessing that are non existent. Children were spared the pain of missing their mother. I don't think it's a blessing that I'm relieved that the hard work of raising kids by myself, I don't think it's a blessing. I don't think it's a blessing that I don't have Children who might haunt me by looking or sounding or having those little mannerisms like her, the small piece of firm still with me. I don't understand. I understand why people think it's its blessing to be more alone in the love of your life ties.
