The Golden Years present a wonderful picture of long happy marriages of 50 years or more, grown-up children with completed college degrees and successful careers paint the picture. Some of us have Not so Golden Years. The starving artist still starves, the dog had grown arthritic, and can barely get up, Mom and Dad are gone. The eadsel has become a major burden, like the cross. A special train pulls into the station , the one with the conductor wearing a halo . The artist gets on, the train goes to .Hardship Over. Tickets are not required.
