Gray Hair Dave opens up about his personal life in 1982 and 1983, sharing intimate details about his struggles with infertility and eventual divorce during that period. In 1982, he mentions that he and his first wife were trying to have a child but faced challenges as she was unable to get pregnant. They explored various options, including in vitro fertilization, but unfortunately, their efforts were unsuccessful. This led them to take a step back and try to relax, hoping for a natural conception. However, despite their efforts, they were unable to conceive a child.

Reflecting on this difficult time, Gray Hair Dave acknowledges that their eventual divorce, which occurred several years later, may have been for the best. He expresses a sense of acceptance and understanding that perhaps it was not meant to be, and that both he and his ex-wife may have had different paths to follow.

He shares a message of acceptance and moving forward, demonstrating resilience in the face of life's challenges.

About the Podcast

5 Minutes With Grey Hair Dave
Wisdom, wit and Sarcasm from a Boomer
Well, it's me just being me.
Welcome to 5 Minutes with Gray Hair Dave!
Hello, everyone! I'm Gray Hair Dave, and I'm thrilled to introduce my new podcast, which will run for about 5 to 10 minutes each episode. I plan to share these episodes daily, despite my full-time job, so expect some flexibility in release times.
In this podcast, I'll be sharing my life experiences, having worked in various industries from paper mills to airlines, and even running a dance studio. I've also had my fair share of personal challenges, including two marriages that didn't work out, but that's life, and I'm here to share the wisdom I've gained.
I'm also excited to talk about my new venture, Boomer Podcasting, where I aim to teach fellow baby boomers and anyone interested in podcasting how to share their stories and leave a legacy.
This podcast isn't just for baby boomers, though. I welcome listeners of all generations to join in as I discuss life lessons, my new business, and a range of topics from family and friendships to music, TV shows, cars, technology, books, historical events, and even encounters with famous individuals.
I promise to keep the content upbeat and child-friendly, with no cursing or ranting. I've got a lot planned for the first 30 days and am open to more ideas. So, stay tuned for engaging stories, reflections on past decades, and discussions on holiday traditions.
Remember, this podcast is for everyone, and I want to show that anyone can podcast, even with just a phone. I'm looking forward to sharing more and hope you'll join me on this journey. Keep an eye out for my website, which will be up soon, and feel free to reach out with suggestions or just to say hi.
Thanks for listening, and I can't wait to connect with you all through my podcast, 5 Minutes with Gray Hair Dave. Spread the word, and let's enjoy this adventure together!
