Penny, I am an only child also and I also have great friends. My mother is deceased and my father lives out of state but we talk often. I don't know what I would do without my friends. They are my angels. You can vent to me anytime you feel like it. I will listen. I'm not sure what kind of advice I can give you, but I'll be here fore you. You are right we can make each other strong! Thanks for your support.
Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. -- Bernice Johnson Reagon
