Loneliness, not a laughing matter

laughed at Malc's story coming back from seeing the Doctor. She is worried that Malc has lost so much weight and was telling him all the fattening foods he could eat, including drinking demi creme milk. Malc said " we drink skimmed milk I have high cholesterol"
Her reply " at 74 I would not worry about that"
We have laughed about it but it does make you realize one is not invincible.
I cannot imagine life with out Malc even though sometimes he is a right " grump" His words not mine. When " Grump" came up in scrabble he explained to the boys that was him.
Often  in my post box for TAG I received letters from people who are lonely. We are often isolated within our community here and when a partner dies, or good friends go back to the UK you can be left on your own. It probably happens in the UK as well but I think it is more of a problem here for both men and women.
Come to the book swap and let us talk about getting together for a coffee now and then and sharing company and giving each other time to talk, new friendships could be formed and support systems built.
We will talk about it on Monday, sometimes it is not about money ( though that can make you depressed) but about having someone to laugh with and tell a tale.
Malc has a blood test on Saturday just to "verifier tout va bien"
