PLEASE never be at yourself up. We are our worst enemies. I tried reconnecting with old friends, there was no answer to anyone. And I try not to yell at myself 4 not reconnecting sooner. But I was not in the place that I am now. Even if u have one person in life. Stick to him or her and nurture this friendship. I reconnected to my ex a couple of yrs ago when she was dying. Except I didn't know that. She died less than 3 months later. She's just about the only one that I can lean on. Contact anyone that u consider a friend. U and both don't have much support system. My family is all dead. I have a cousin in Philly. I haven't seen her for probably 40 yrs. She's blind now and doesn't drive. I want to go see her. Let me know if u want to talk. My name is diane. I'm 70 yrs old. Take good care of yourself, please. See this beloved cousin. Visit her and enjoy her company before she dies. Altho that may not b in the near future, you DO have someone. Stick 2 her like glue!!!!

You are only 70? You have 20 more years to go to be my age. I turned 90 years old in September. But I am fine. I don't have dementia. I cook, I do my laundry, I go to the store, bank, library, etc. I can drive and thank goodness because I have to drive 26 miles to get to my doctor. He wants to see me every 3-4 months. It is kind of ridiculous. There is nothing wrong with me. He looks at the computer. I am there for 10 minutes and I have to remind him to at least listen to my heart. But I was with my husband for 62 years. I really miss him so much. I feel I have lived long enough and I am just tired of it. Please do not read into this that I am suicidal because I am not. I promised my older son I would never do that and I never will. But when you get to the 90's there is just not much time left. My joke is that I don't buy green bananas. My cousin lives in the city where I grew up which is far from here. I believe I mentioned that because of my mother I left home. I just cannot get on a plane and fly there. I cannot afford to stay in a hotel for any length of time. I have enough to live comfortably if I am careful. And that's okay. Sometime in the next week or so I think I will send an email to my therapist and let her know I can use some help. If she is busy with her father she will let me know. In the meantime I have enjoyed exchanging messages with you. I hope you will take care of yourself so you can get to be as old as I am.
