Good evening everyone.

I'm a frequent reader (of several forums) and a very infrequent poster. I don't expect any replies, and don't really have any advice to ask for. I am feeling very lonely today, and sad. To the point that I'm crying. Ugh That's not fun. It's the weekend, and I should be enjoying my weekend before another soul-crushing work-week.

This loneliness came out of the blue, caught me quite off guard. Sure, I've been single for a few years now. But I am busy with work, and I have two daughters (25 and 20, the youngest away on the West Coast at university). I don't know why it hit so hard today.

Thanks for letting me post here. I really don't have anyone to talk to about this. It would be too awkward for my friends, as they are all married and would not understand.
