Sad and Strange Story

This story that I saw was just so bizarre and sad.

She lived with a corpse for a year and watched NASCAR.

"He always listened"

The moral of the story is that when you grow old and you have no one, either a significant other, kids or friends, you will have nothing to live for.

I have witnessed this with my own great aunt.  She married but decided to have no children.  At 97 she is now a widow, has no real friends and no family of her own to help her, take care of her and keeping her wanting to live. 

You don't want to end up so lonely that you end up watching television with a corpse for a year.  I don't mean that to be funny at all.  It's a lesson. 

For all that sports fans love watching games, I think it's equally as important to turn off the television and participate in sports and be with friends.  It's healthy to participate and be with others.  

You want something to live for when you get old, and maybe those buddies you play tennis with will be it. 

Sports fans shouldn't let their life completely revolve around watching some stranger's life.   You have to have your own life.
