Thanks Francesca I think I will look into the rotary club option. My Mom was such a good listener,and I really miss that. She hasn’t passed yet. but with dementia getting worse it is as if she is already gone. It would be helpful to talk with like minded people and share stories.
What a wonderful friend she has in you. I was always a bit of a loner. My mom was a loner. As was my sister. now my sister has died,
and my Mom is old and very ill. I regret not making at least one good friend that would be there in such a selfless way.
I realize the importance of friendship.
