How has the last decade been for you?

I retired, moved house, stopped dyeing my hair, lost my father and one of my best friends, had cancer, saw two daughters married and the other two -son and daughter- buy their own houses, had five grandchildren and made a new life with lots of interests. So, quite positive really, on the whole.

Like most people, ups and downs. We retired, our lovely granddaughter started uni, we had some lovely holidays. We had our Golden wedding, my 70th. However, DH got cancer five years ago, all my hair fell out. DH's cancer may have returned. Not looking forward to 2020 because of this. I wish you all a happy and positive 2020.

Looking back, pretty grotty.
My H started with the memory problems which proved to be dementia.
The first 4/5 years were not easy but not too bad.
The last 5 were such hard work, I needed a new knee, my D’s marriage broke down, leading to two distraught children, not young, just old enough to really miss their father and family life, then their father moved abroad, another blow to them.
My H’s health deteriorated, a major stroke, then cancer from which he died in April.

I am now 82, not likely to see another full decade.
What a sob story, I hope you all make the most of every minute of the next decade, don’t waste anytime at all.
Most of all a Happy New Year.

The last ten years has been a real roller coaster, with more downs than ups in many ways ( too personal for a forum.)
However, the extended family is in an up phase at the moment, so something good.
There have been more things happening in the last ten years than in the previous forty years!
We celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary this year, which is quite exciting ( if we make it, DH says darkly)?
