CLOGGED ARTERIES

I've been at the hospital all day with my ex-boyfriend/friend/date-mate. He is 43 years old, and had a stent put in his heart's main artery where gunk was shutting it down. Sausage and cheeseburgers have been his dear friends; he's in mourning.

How did I wind up too old (practically) to have children, with a not-even-boyfriend who is 43 years old and has heart problems? How time flies, eh?

He's so dear to me, pretty much my main "family" member these past several years.
