I'm happy for you. You will be better prepared for your future than those of us who did not take notice of changing family patterns.

Marjou's post - I'm 79 and with no children or contact with relatives less than 3,000 miles away, I wish I had spent more time expanding my friendship network.
With most of my friends now deceased or in assisted living facilities, I depend on the occasional kindness of neighbor or my small underfunded Senior Center nurse.
I believe we need better funded protections and support for seniors either abandoned by family or once independent but with age related losses.
I believe Norma Watkins will find a way to get the help she needs.
