Hope, I think the job thing was a big part just because he always liked to work. He would have rather been at work than at home with nothing to do. (not that he ever didn't have anything to do) But he enjoyed going to work that much. He always enjoyed the people he worked with until he had to take the lay off from the service job and then went back to the construction part of the union instead of the service he was doing. I think he felt like he made a mistake when he took the lay off, but I couldn't blame him for not wanting to lie all the time about where he was putting his time. To me that and the death of his Mom and Brother, with in a years time really effected him.
My H used to joked he was always right on remembering stuff and he used to be pretty much right all the time, never failed I told him to turn the wrong way or something. Now, just in the past week there have been two things I was right on and he was wrong, the amount and type of insurance he had with Met Life and that I had put the Thursday game on the football sheet.
