Having said that I know people want that human connection.

How kind of you, unlived. I suppose that for all these years I have feared turning 60 because of my aunt. You've helped me be aware of that, and I thank you.
I do have my son. He is a precious, beautiful human being. Absolutely the best of my husband and I. It's just that he's 34 and of course very much has his own life. He works so hard and travels very, very much. I just wish I could see him and my DIL more often. And my daughter, although we aren't seeing eye-to-eye at this time- there is no doubt in my mind that we love each other so deeply. It's just a matter of patience and time.
It's so hard, one moment they're children and we're all together as a family - the next moment they've left for college and everyone is everywhere, and those family days are fewer and further between. Anyway, my son and I do communicate almost daily, which is a huge light in my life.
Thank you, unlived
