What is the happiest part of your day?
To be honest I haven't been happy since my husband died, maybe my happiest will be when I get over the grief of losing him.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship this far has been managing my home alone. A man's presence is important in the househould and being a widow is really and especially at my age when I was used to having him take care of me. My grandson has stepped up and that has relieved the pressure.
