CL,
I guess I haven't accepted being alone yet. It's been a tough year. My oldest D went off to college for the first time in Aug. and then in Oct. H dropped bomb. I still have D15 at home and sometimes it's so hard to stay strong in front of her.

I feel so alone many times. My mother died several years ago and my dad lives in another state. Although I talk to him about once a week I only see him about every 6 months. I am also an only child. I have several wonderful friends, but they are married and I don't want to intrude on their family times. Don't get me wrong I do go out with friends every so often though. I have a couple of friends who have been angels through all of this.

I also live in a town where there are not many activities to get involved in. I attended that Women of Faith Conference last weekend. I could tell my H was interested in my activities because he asked who all went, where it was, what it was, and if I did anything afterwards. I did have a wonderful time and I let him know it. Thankfully, I have my youngest D who keeps me very active. She is involved in lots of things so I go and support her. I'm friends with many of the parents who also attend the events.
