It was lucky that I had to retire when I did. My father is just getting back to normal after a doctor screwed up his "routine" pacemaker operation. Long story short, the past almost 2 years has been hell for us. I'm all he has left as far as immediate family.
Life throws all kinds of sh*t at you, you just have to grit your teeth and press on. My car brings me happiness and is my escape from the stress.
I wish you all good health and prosperity.
