I spent Christmas day all alone except for my dog Ben. I did not see anyone to wish happy Christmas to. Why was this because I have no family left and I am 72 nobody wants to know old guys. Still I wish all on here a merry new year.
Hey snowy
I'm sorry that you had no family alive to share Christmas with.
I'm sure that, as Bubbs said, that Ben is devoted to you and that you two have a wonderful relationship.
We all get old and some of us have to watch family members move on. It's sad and can lead one to despair.
All of my family are dead but I'm fortunate that my wife, who is a lot younger than me, still has most of hers alive.
I had the absolute joy yesterday to go and see my youngest niece, who is 11, perform in a production of Peter Pan.
What was amazing, apart from her performance which was the best of course, is that loads of the kids that came to watch, dressed up as their favorite characters. My personal favorite was a 4 year old boy dressed as Captain Hook.
My point is, that despite the fact that you have lost your family, it's still possible to have fun. Join your local parish bridge club, or social club. Invite the neighbours around for a cup of tea and biscuits. Join a walking club.
Have fun.
And friend request sent - knock me up for a game some time so we can share a few laughs at these young whippersnappers on this site that are on the gimme wagon.
Cheers,
Peter
