I know that must sound crazy to many people . . . but we lost our only child several years ago and the pain is always with us. After visiting the Villages, I found myself believing that just maybe we could make a new life for ourselves. After reading so many wonderful posts from so many wonderful people, I'm becoming more positive every day. Please save a place for me in your club!

So sorry for the lost of your only child. It must be very difficult. Hopefully, as time goes on, the pain will become smaller. llittle by little, each day. I lost a cousin at an early age and I know her mother never really got over it, I know it will always be part of you. I have only one child and I couldn't imagine the world without him.

Hoping TV wonderful and caring people will help substain you with various activities and clubs. Best wishes.
