Plus One

 

I never had a plus one in my life; I gave it less than a half-hearted attempt maybe once or twice.

Family and friends, books and adventures, and now Kitty, have been my companions through my days, I am okay with that.  Life never came with a guarantee.

      Rob was on the road all those years. Now he is home asking you what he should make for dinner.
      No one is only "one" so many more in our lives.
