Dear Abby, My wife and I

Dear Abby: I’m frustrated that my wife is making excuses instead of losing weight

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I went for our annual checkups seven months ago. We were both overweight and told by our respective doctors that we needed to make some lifestyle changes to improve our health. Since that time, I have made the needed changes. As a result, I have lost 40 pounds, and all of my vitals are in a healthy range.

My problem is, one family member opens cards that have been left there for my daughter, and puts all sorts of cheap decorations around her grave.
