Excellent ideas how to stay busy with all kind of good stuff! I know you always have great things happening. Gardening and writing poems, what a great thing

I actually don’t think it’s wrong to talk often. I talk to my daughter quite often. It doesn’t mean we don’t have lives but I think it’s a bit different if you do so due to loneliness versus just have things to discuss. I wonder if sometimes instead of updating you could talk about things you both find important or fun like books you read or stuff you saw somewhere or something new you discovered.

I also wonder if your parents are aging. My dad used to want to know every little things and wanted to listen and he’d ask questions. As he got older, he isn’t as much into knowing all ins and outs and has little interest in updates from other peoples lives. It’s not like he doesn’t care. It’s more like he can’t handle it
