5 Minute Freewrite: **** It's been a great ride ****

Carl's retirement was approaching, and he wanted to leave a last good memory of himself and be reminded that what a great ride it has been all these years working as a plastic surgeon. He has done many surgeries and made people happy. So, an idea came to his mind. He decided to invite all his coworkers and his past patients to a big party at his house.

Most of them came, of course there were some people who weren't satisfied with their plastic surgeries. Most of his patients were models and well known people. So, the party was full of beautiful and stylish people who wore expensive clothes and designer bags. When he saw how many showed up at his party, he couldn't be happier. He said, “I did many surgeries, Wow!” He couldn't believe it when he saw them all at once. It was a blast for him.

He felt like a God, and very grateful for the profession he chose when he was young. With the money he made, he did not need anything. All was good. The only thing that was missing from his life was a partner. He was alone, he did not marry because his job took much of his time and he regretted that he wasn't as serious about having a relationship as having a high paying job. Everyone has regrets at some point in their lives. So, all this was normal. Overall, he felt he had a fulfilling life, and it's really been a great ride.
