I had a phone call yesterday to say a lady, who had helped me and mine when we were at a low place and continued to think of the kids in particular following that, had unexpectedly been lost.
I'll start out by saying how genuinely sorry I was to hear this, and I'll reiterated my condolences to her entire family, and hope they get resolution soon (((hugs Jane & family)))
This comes at a time when I have been bemoaning the way my life has bombed, that I have lost contact with just about everyone I care about and/or enjoyed the company of, and no longer attend the events and places that I met with them and other like minds in person or online. This (in part) has contributed to my disengagement from just about everything, and circumstance have been hardly positive for things to improve.
I'm still alive, though, and I think it is time I considered examples like this dear and lovely lady to make a concious effort to try and sort out something in what is left of my lifetime.
So, even as disengaged and disconnected as I am, with the lack of mobility and fading functuality both physically and mentally, I'm going to try just a little harder to reach out. Feel free to reach back - or not, yunno, no pressure.
