Stevie Nicks’ voice filled the car as I drove away. What was I thinking? There is no escaping getting older. I could trowel on the makeup and exercise away the pounds, but there was no way I could get back the lost years.
I drove on and wiped the tears as I sang along. There is little left here now. Now that you are gone and I am alone. I can’t even balance a checkbook. I was that subservient to you. What is there for me now?
Death is hard. Divorce is harder. 45 wasted years.
Time to grow up!

Lance’s 100 WordSong challenge this week is Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide. I love Stevie Nicks’ voice and the way she sings this song. Note: the above is NOT autobiographical, just a reaction to the song. Thanks for reading.
That feeling of wasted time is such a hard thing to deal with when there is a divorce. I know my mother felt that that part of her life was all a lie. Took her a long time to learn to deal with that.
I am so glad that this isn’t autobiographical. 😀
I liked the twist – divorce vs. death. Good take on the song,

Nice job! I’d have read THAT book.
