What do you do when you suddenly realize at age 60 that your husband's business is facing bankruptcy? He has, until the last year or so, operated a fairly successful medium-sized business. Our living had been adequate to have a nice home, a few interesting trips. We were able to make good contributions to our church. We supported community programs. Our social life, though not lavish, was comfortable and we enjoyed entertaining friends. We found pleasure in furnishing transportation for Boy Scouts and other youth groups to their camping grounds, etc.
I recently participated in the Live wElle 5k and fun run put on by the family of one of our lion sponsors (see Elle's Story Lion # 110). Hundreds of people attended the event to support the Live wElle Foundation. After the race, my mom related to me a powerful experience that she had while running the 5k.
