Stacy finally made a doctor's appointment after a fight about her making up her mind what she wanted.
The doctor, female of course, ran some tests and it was confirmed. I sat there stunned, Stacy was only fifty seven. We had just begun to begin living our life without the kids. We were planning a second honeymoon and childhood all rolled up into one.
I did some research on line, but most of the treatment discussions were between Stacy and her doctor, and her doctor wouldn't answer my questions except in general terms.
Then came 'the announcement', Stacy, with the support of her naturalist, almost fundamentalist, doctor, had decided not to use any of the treatments. Mother Nature was going to take her course and that was final. I was in a daze for days after, going over the possibilities in my mind. But what was I going to do, hold a gun to her head, force her medication down her throat?
So over the next six months I watched my love, my companion, turn into a shell of the person I fell in love with. She's still in there, and every once in a while she'd reappear. Stacy put on a good show out in public and around the rest of the family. But at home the truth was always there...
My lover, the woman that sighed at my touch, the woman that would reach over and grope me and even think about giving me a blow job while driving was gone. Once in a while she would make a remark that made me think that maybe, just maybe she was coming back to me...

I reached out to touch her, lightly stroking her cheek, letting my fingers trail down her cleavage now covered by her frilly top, remembering when I would have been stroking bare skin and rolling her nipple between my fingers...
Stacy's eyes came open, realized where my hands were, and got up out of bed in a hurry heading for the bathroom and her pile of clothes. "Morning dear, ready to hit the garden today? We have a lot of weeding to do..." rambling on as she hitched up her heavily padded bra, designed to hide and flatten those beauties, doing all she could to make them sag and get her nipples pointed to the floor. 'It's not appropriate for a woman my age to be seen with her nipples standing out,' she would say if I said anything about it, so a few years ago I simply quit saying it.
Hell, I'd settle for them just coming out to play every once in a while.
FUCKING MENOPAUSE!

Losing my wife Chapter 02 -- the saga continues.
And so it goes. Watching my love cover and hide her body. Working harder on hiding it than taking care of it.
Seeing Stacy weeding and fertilizing in the garden on her hands and knees . But instead of lusting after her ass and camel toe, I was remembering the sight from years past - looking at her ass covered in a loose knit pair of short shorts. Seeing her turn to toss the weeds in the cart, her tits plastered to her chest with a heavy sports bra under a big old t-shirt instead of swinging loose under one of my thin muscle t-shirts.
I was really doing my best to drown the weeds along the fence when I heard the gate and a bright cheery voice call out. "ANYBODY HOME!"
I turned to see my bouncing baby girl walking toward me. She would scowl at me if she knew I still thought of her as a baby, but she will always be that little bundle of joy to me.
"Hey honey, what you doing over here?"
"Hey Daddy," giving me a nice hug and kiss on the cheek. "Momma said you guys were going to tackle the flower beds this weekend."
Stacy had invited them over without saying anything to me. I tensed for just a moment, then grinned at her. "Plenty of weeds for everyone." It's pretty bad when you actually get used to something like that...
Bill shook my hand and followed Georgie as they headed over to her mother.
I kept spraying for a while, then grabbing my pruners and began attacking the bushes. I glanced over at the girls making progress. I got a lump in my throat seeing Georgie kneeling beside her mother. The spitting image of her at that age.
Watching the little caresses between Bill and her, watching him ogle my daughters ass and hoping for his benefit instead of getting upset. Please lord, don't let her have her mother's menopause...
We had the flower bed done just after noon. Stacy headed in to clean up, while Georgie and Bill headed to the pool, stripping off shirts and shorts before jumping in.
I had to turn away before the déjà vu of her mother in her bikini doing that so many times some twenty odd years ago got to me. As much as I love my baby girl, there are times when her being the younger image of her mother was a pure curse.
I kicked back on my lounger listening to them splash in the pool. Stacy brought out sandwiches, frowning at me having a beer.
We ate and chat, Stacy frowning again at us talking shop.
If Angie was here instead of her older sister, I would be inundated with talk of shopping at all the right stores. Since my little tom boy was here, we talked shop, GRIN.
I was a VERY proud papa, Georgie had gone to college and learned in a few years what I had learned over twenty some years at the school of hard knocks. By her junior year she had surpassed me, taking the lead on many projects in her spare time from school. Taking control of her own crew barely a few days after graduation.
Stacy tried to get her to work in the office, but Georgie was like me, she liked working with her hands. We still did design and layout things in the office, but the grin on her face when we completed a particularly intricate project was amazing, dirty fingernails and all.
The girls cleaned up after our sandwiches. I smiled and envied Bill, the little smile as he watched Georgie walking away.
I got a hug and another kiss on the cheek before they left, "See you next weekend."
I would see her tomorrow morning at work before we headed out to our respective jobs, but I knew what she meant.
Just after she graduated and took control of her own crew we started a company tradition. A big Fourth of July Bar-B-Q in our back yard. We had expanded and contracted the number of crews over the years, but we kept it going. For a few years when we had seven crews we had to move the Bar-B-Qs to a shelter at the park, but for our current four crews, we would have a nice celebration here.
I went in and got my second beer for the day, and yes Stacy scowled at me for having another beer. I went out and kicked back remembering celebrations of years past. All the fun the kids and even some of the grownups had. Smiling momentarily at some of my own antics with Stacy the first few years. Having to leave the party a bit early to head upstairs to fuck her into the mattress.
