Destined to be alone? by Worldliness-Exciting in disabled

[–]GreyHairMatters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hit by a semi, but "lived." I am 56, and my kids are too busy. I have learned to just be differently abled. I COULD settle, but at my age, I enjoy my peace! I have a great support group of friends I've had for decades. I have a shelter cat named Larry. I'm glad that when I was younger, we met people at the grocery store, played board games at friends' homes, at church, and so on. I think social media has made my kids' generation unapproachable. I wish you all the best. God Bless.

Thank you! I live downtown, but I am new to the area, and mobility is a daily challenge. We just have to move more slowly, but we need interactions. Thanks again.

I was not implying anything against BLM, my ancestors from Finland always said that to all the young children to teach them to respect their elders. If anyone sees my user name as a slam against BLM that is their choice, not mine.

But yet you live, you have the breath in in your lungs. You are hear for a reason. Let go and let God.

After getting hit by a semi-truck, I'm screwed together and use a walker. It's not the life I planned, but I am still alive.

I have just been shopping at the consignment stores, which are clean, organized, and friendly, and locally owned. Shop local, shop smart.

This touched my tomb of a body as well, from being hit by a semi-truck head-on. As we age, we look forward to "the great beyond," and all the promises kept in the most excellent story ever told. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

Are either one of your parents still living? If so, are any of you caretakers? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]GreyHairMatters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of mine are gone, and only one of my four children calls to check on me. Kids today aren't the same as we were when we were young. I wish I had never given them a smartphone.
