One question after three months of reading, asked in public
- Looking for
- direction rather than service, and somebody who knows the difference
- Experience
- None at all, and fifty five years of not mentioning it.
- Around
- the west end, Toronto
Three months of reading this board and I have one question, so I am going to ask it in public and see what comes back. Is there a version of this for a person who does not want to be hurt and does not want to hurt anybody, or am I in the wrong place entirely?
Fifty five, west end, widowed three years ago after a long and good marriage, and lately thinking about something I never once mentioned to her.
What I want, as best I can put it, is to be looked after by somebody who takes charge of the practical parts of my life. What I eat. When I go to bed. Whether I have done the things I have been avoiding since the spring. That is the whole picture. Nothing in it involves pain and I do not believe it ever will.
Every time I have tried to look this up I have landed somewhere that assumes otherwise, which is why I am asking a person instead of a page.
I am also aware that a man my age writing this could look like somebody after a housekeeper with extra steps. I know the difference. I am not asking to be served. I am asking to be directed, which is nearly the opposite.
A house, a garden that has got away from me, two grown children and a great deal of quiet.
