just wondering something...would appreciate advice.
we are retired, 71 &67.
the saying, an old soldier never dies, just fades away, comes to my mind.
we have 4 adult dc, numerous gc.
sounds good so far.
the problem is they all emigrated some years ago.
before they emigrated, our home was the central meeting place for them all.
then slowly it all kind of evaporated, until there was none.
we sold up and retired to the south coast, which is lovely, we are happy together, but simply have no family left to visit us, or for us to visit here in the uk.
one sibling in Scotland , a cousin in wales,
the usual celebrations...mother/fathers day, birthdays/Christmas and so on, are spent on Skype, with no physical contact in real life.
we visit when we can, but it's expensive and long haul, which we are finding more difficult each year.
so, back to the old soldier thing, will we just fade away!it feels like it!
