Well, it's hard to laugh about irony in those circumstances; but maybe you were lucky in a different way. If that event hastened ending of a marriage which was doomed anyway, then you "won" the better life you have now in the process. Notice who moped -- not you. YOU have what truly matters -- a heart full of love and people to share it with. You can't take money with you when you go, but the love is part of your soul....
Superb -- a Virtual Six, as my real ones are gone.

WalkerMan, you have the nicest way of reviewing my pieces. You leave me feeling as if I've really connected as a writer. I can't thank you enough for that. xo

My father taught me to give credit where it is due. You are again welcome. :))

Every Friday, my father wrote down the six numbers he would have played if he bought a ticket, but he never bought one. On Sunday, he would look in the newspaper to see what the winners were. I asked, "why do you do that, so you can commit suicide if your numbers came in?
