Thomas loves travel, poker, and red wine each evening. He retired twenty years ago and has been to all seven continents. When his wife passed away five years ago, he went into a tailspin for eighteen months. Weekly sessions with a counselor helped Tom bounce back and he now volunteers at a homeless shelter each Monday. His work at the shelter has given him a new perspective about life and he often reflects on how fortunate he’s been. Thomas still experiences dark days but reminds himself that he and June had forty-eight wonderful years together and memories that will last forever.
