[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 707007, member: 18958"] Going, I share some of the same sorrows as do you. You do not describe them as such, but for me, I feel them so. Since my mother's death I have not been able to rouse myself to once again be the person I was. I am estranged from my sister who wants nothing to do with me. The heaviness and anxiety of my son is ever-present. I share your fear for our country and I too am doing what I can. Sometimes I worry about "a home" too. Miguel and I are together, yes. But will we always be, or will he go first? Who knows. I tell myself that none of us know how or when we will go. It could be next week or month, or next year, or tomorrow, while we still have our faculties and independence. I think for me the key is to having stuff to look forward to. Like you, with your trip north. We have been planning for 3 years a trip east. I buy tickets and feel unable to travel and cancel them. This time, the tickets are for the 3rd week of April, delayed once again from March 20th. Wish me luck. I think what we are experiencing, the losses, loss of functioning, and fear of what will come is "normal" for our life stage (how I wish there was another way to say this). Anyway, I am glad you are posting. Glad you are back. Glad we are both fighting back. Even though we cannot acknowledge it here. [/QUOTE]
