Returned after years away

The town I (33) was born was like a magnet to me, drawing me back. I left at 18 join the military and after several hitches, returned home as I saw it. I was never a smoker or heavy drinker and dabbled in the stock market with my spare cash. So, I had a nice nest egg on my return, not what I would call rich but comfortable. I was an only child and had no real close relatives left at the time. So, I returned and bought myself a house as close to my childhood home I could get, my childhood having been removed years before for highway widening. I checked the local phonebook seeing if any of the families I'd known growing up were still in the area. Several were and I decided to get in touch, all except one family were only the parents of the childhood friends I had known their having moved away. The exception was Wendy 30 who was the carer for her father, her mother having passed away years earlier. She was the younger sister of my best friend (deceased) and I went and seen her and her father who had cancer and wouldn't be around much longer. They were living in a small house close to the local hospital. Wendy had turned into a gorgeous woman since I last saw her before I left to join the military. Quiet as she was before, but she soon relaxed around me. Anyway, I started visiting her and her father a great deal and mainly talking with her father. Then her father went into hospital (2019) and wouldn't come out again. Wendy now had to find a job and new home as the house she was in was a charity care home for people with long term medical problems. I thought I could hire her as my housekeeper and then realized it wouldn't look right. But I decided to make it look right and straight out asked her to marry me. Solving the problem and giving a wife, she was a little shocked by the proposal. But also seen it as the best solution to her then situation. We married quickly as we could, and she soon got pregnant and now we've 5 children including 2 sets of twins, and I own and run a garage which is right behind our house and Wendy helps me with the garage doing the bookwork and I do the mechanical repairs. I was trained as a mechanic in the military and we're doing quite well.
