Asianthree, I'm sorry for your losses and the painful timing. Maybe next birthday you could ask here for thoughts and prayers to be with you while you hold your breath. It really does help.

changing our address does not mean changing problems. They come with us, but The Villages makes it easier because of our friendships and love and support.

Sorry to hear about all your losses Kitty. I hope you will feel better.

thanks, the post has aged, along with most of us...I'm ok now.

I'm so sorry Kitty, loss is a part of life but it is never easy to deal with. Thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way. Hang in there and it will hopefully get better, you are surrounded by loving and caring people here.

words to dwell on
 

Sadness is a thing that should be viewed in many ways,
For without this thing called sadness there could be no brighter days,
No one to tell your troubles to, No time to sit and cry.
I'm sure without this feeling that a soul could not get by;
So listen to these words my friend remember what I say,
If your heart is heavy now there'll be a brighter day.

I’m sure they would want you to be happy… You may be able to make a change to someones day and make them happy try & enjoy yourself in TV:) Big Hug…:)

Kitty posted the first post on this thread in May.

It was difficult at first for her but I have watched her make friends and settle in.

Kitty hosted several get togethers at her own home which encouraged others to do the same.

Kitty is a remarkable person and she has a good solid base here now because people do care and she tried to reach out.

It is difficult for almost everyone to make a major move and lifestyle change all at once without the sadness of deaths of people we care deeply about.

If you are needing a little company or just a soft place to fall for a bit, let us know on this forum.

We are truly a friendly home town.

Hey Everybody, I'm doing fine and feeling great now that I've been here over 6 months and the dust has settled. I hope all the best for other people who are struggling with the move and appreciate the TV folks like Gracie who opened their hearts to welcome me here.

I am not surprised at the responses you got over the past months. You seem like a delightful person and I have enjoyed reading your comments on issues you weigh in on, often with passion. Glad you are doing better...
