I find this difficult to respond to. I have always been the shy one. I feel I do not have friends. I don't refer to the neighbor across the street. I simply have nobody I feel I can go to if I need a shoulder to cry on. And although, S.W. helps a little, the brief time I am able to chat is not as meaningful as a REAL body-Hug. Name me one person that was able to reach their senior years with JOY! Nobody wants to hang out with them? Sure I could go to the local bar up the street and get harassed by the drunks. At least it's a body, RIGHT? I'm just not sure how long it would take for them to find my body. Till then, I walk my little dog, wave @ the post-man and try NOT to cry.
