@grandmira thank you for that. I needed to hear that there is somewhere that I will be needed. It's terrible to be alone.

I respect your feelings, however, I have been "alone" since I was 4 years old. Now well in my 70's, I have come to understand that "being alone" and "loneliness" are not the same. I love living alone; and I am far from lonely. I gather with friends and neighbors when I CHOOSE, I chatter with strangers in stores when I CHOOSE. Most importantly, I sit in peace alone and enjoy the silence, the serenity of nature and so forth when I CHOOSE to.
Should you choose not to be alone may I suggest you look to your community, and this site. There are MANY organizations that need our help and wisdom.
