COPD has taken over both our lives now as he cannot do much anymore.
Anyway, I was awake last night thinking of how awful it is that I'm an only child, have just one grown daughter and no other close family. Was wishing I had some more family and feeling all alone and shedding a few tears.

Your story shows that just because you have siblings and family, don't count on them being any help or support for you. I should not wish for what I don't have, and make the most of what I've got.

Friends who have struggles in common with us don't judge and truly care. The folks on this forum all know IT'S OK TO BE HUMAN!

To everyone here, I care about you, and you matter!!!!
