Chad, I'm sorry to hear of your problems. Almost 11 years ago, I lost my first wife (of 14-1/2 years) to a heart attack at age 36...left me with two kids, 12 and 8. Even now, it still kinda hurts to talk about it, but maybe it'll help you cope with what you're going thru...'cause if I can make it, you can too. I'm no Superman...I just decided to live each day one at a time, and take whatever came at me and deal with it. Now, almost 11 years later, I'm remarried for 9 years, both my kids are grown, I own my first house, and paid off about $12,000 in medical bills from the first wife. Let me say this: anybody who tells you it's gonna be easy going on, on your own, is absolutely NUTS...but it CAN be done. Life's short...live, laugh, love as if each day may be your last, 'cause one day you'll be right. If you've done somebody wrong, take the time to make it right...today, 'cause tomorrow may be too late. If somebody's done YOU wrong, search your soul and find a way to forgive them...'cause, assuming THEY'VE got a conscience, no use in BOTH of you bein' miserable. And stay connected to your roots...tractors, in your case. In my case, I've got a '51 and a '52 International L-110 pickup (one's gonna be stock, the other's gonna be a rod, and either is gonna be set up to trailer my '44 Farmall H to the pulls when I get 'em all built); that's all the expensive psychotherapy I need (nobody said it'd be cheap...and they were RIGHT!). Good luck...and email me if you need to talk to the opposite end of Indiana.
