My Poorest Me Pity Party Pout

With the song, "I Did It My Way" playing in the background.


Damn. It
               is                   almost ov
                                                   er.
Seven
decades........................Failed       my families, failed the
                                                 Loves of My Life.             And sorriest of all,
                                                                         failed my children. (the proof
                    of which.........one of them,
                                          my little girl,
                              has been DEAD 2 1/2 years now.

Granted. the world is fulla millions mo'fucked up than i can imagine, (and I have much empathy.......for most of'em).
 And yes. My brothers and sisters have been great "gifts and blessings to me in hard times", but,
                         What can ye do? There comes a time when you've not
                         felt the the bare, basic love of a woman for so bloody
                                                                 long, and
                             your remaining child is 3000 miles away, and
                                  up to his neck trying to make This Life
                                                                  tenable
                                  for my beautiful grand-daughter that,( given
                               the chronic, Failing heart i've inherited), I may
                                     never again get to see in real-life, as opposed  
                                                    to "virtual" Life on a screen.

                                              ALL we  think we have and ,
                                   we think  we "have" done, ALL is sentient and
                                                     forever "passing" away.

                                                             So.......maybe cut
                                      the old cripple a little slack. I tried to
                                                 "be good" to all i've met,
                                      and "give of my-self".

(PS....At this stage of life, while it does hurt, there's nothing here to be "taken seriously".  The REAL trouble comes when taken seriously).

"Pity party,
pity party,
Danny's having a pity party
!"..........Y'all cmon down. Don't miss the fun!
