How was your life when you turned 40?

It was stressful. I had been married for just over a year and the transition from living alone to being a husband and stepfather to a surly teenager was difficult. It was also about this time that my health took enough of a turn that I needed to seek out medical assistance, which is when they discovered the tumor. Figuring out what to do about it was its own kind of horror show. Overall, it was not a good time.
