You said, "It's funny how life throws a curve here and there and your life doesn't even come close to resembling what you thought it would when you first launched out on your own."

Life happens on a day to day basis until one realizes life is not the way it was a week ago or a month ago or a year ago. That is how life goes by for all of us.

No disagreement from me, @Victoria33 . I was only trying to make the point that I never would have foreseen that I would have ended up with no family when I had so much family growing up. I much preferred the days when families didn't migrate all over the country. I'm old fashioned that way.

Nope, I am the same way.... I loved when family reunions were possible cause everyone lived within 50 miles of each other.... It was just better.

I have to tell on myself. My face involuntarily scrunched up and I let out an "EWWWWWW" upon reading that part. You're right. That is a gulf. And you know that never the twain shall meet if they're infected with TDS, which is nothing more than CDS (conservative derangement syndrome) on steroids. I wonder how many families leftism has split up.

Maybe there's hope. I used to be a Dem, but I was a sweet one. That was back before politics became a contact sport. Reagan was when this puppy's eyes opened. My IQ shot up after that. Okay, I made that part up, but I did make it a point to dig deeper and learn more about politics and current events. Something similar could happen to some of your kinfolk. But if not, you've still got us. 

Politics has always been a contact sport my dear! It just took a long time for many of us to understand that. Many still do not. @AllThatJazzZ

Jazz, I meant my post to be supportive to you.  I understand what you are feeling.  The only family I have is one son who lives in the UK, in Wales.  He has lived there over 25 years.  The last time I went there was in 2000.  The last time he came here was two years ago.  Now, with the virus, I have no idea when he can come here again.
