    One malady that old age have gifted seniors are dry eyes. Fortunately I've lucked into a solution recently and now my struggles with dry eyes can easily be mitigated by any all of Steve Hartman heartwarming stories...I get a good laugh, a cleansing cry and my belief in humanity is reinforced. Best non_ pharmaceutical therapy, natural, sustainable and free. Please don't stop Mr hartman.

    This man won at life. Got to enjoy and be happy in his bachelorhood. Then have the joy of being a father to 2 boys. And then found a Diane Lane lookalike who seems lovely and have that complete family in his older age. Wow.
