WE ARE SORRY about your loss 💛

For those of us who have "furbabies" - you are ALWAYS welcome to chat about them & post pictures!!! I will start things off with "Mister" 🐱. His owners moved & left him behind. I have NO idea what his name was or how old he is. My boy 🤗💛 He gives me a REASON to get out of bed EVERY DAY = lol, got to "feed" him. It is about 6:10am ET here in Virginia. A RAINY day. If you need help with posting pictures, reply here or send me an AARP Private Message (PM). We have all needed help with posting. Nicole!

➡️[*** MY RESPONSE - My only child (daughter), my Extended Family (I live faraway from my daughter,my neighbors) & this group (since 2023). LAST YEAR 2025 my Counselor (few months). GRATEFUL Medicare paid her. Without them, I would NOT have made it. THIS YEAR 2026, finally having HOPE AGAIN after years of "existing" in a fog. Nicole 🤗💛

WE are getting to the END of "another" year.

(1) Any plans for Thanksgiving & Christmas?

(2) Any hopes/dreams/plans for the NEW YEAR that will be here in 3 months?

➡️[*** MY RESPONSE - Over the past years I have been "avoiding" these holidays while my "only" child (daughter) celebrated with her friends & extended family. That is what her dad wanted for her. Her moving FORWARD in spite of her grief. For the 1st time since losing him to COVID "unexpectedly" I am READY to celebrate BOTH holidays. As far as NEXT YEAR, lol - hoping for a BETTER ONE. Geez, last year December 2025, broke my ankle on Black Ice. At age 68, still having "issues" (2026) with swelling but GRATEFUL the cast (6 weeks) & walking boot (10 weeks) are off as of March 2026. Then ADD having to "replace" my car who was "family" (was in tears). Have NO idea what is AHEAD for me, but NOW able to find some JOY while still "missing" him. Nicole 🤗💛
