Hi @debiobrien I understand! Due to many business oriented moves I, too, have few friends. Then the ones we did have ghosted when my wife got her brain cancer. Caregiving is incredibly isolating for sure! Left us with one each and they were distant in my ability to do what friends do until my caregiving days ended. The good news was they understand. Plus I have gone back to a few folks in my past, several of whom I haven't seen or spoken with in decades now, but who were willing to reconnect a bit. It has helped me over time. Plus much to my surprise I got a rescue dog and she has become a great companion!
