Lo, So many of us have lost people important in our lives. It seems that you have lost so many more. I am so sorry about your struggles as yes, we do need interaction with people that love us. I am praying for you and I believe that we were put here for a purpose. It looks like you are getting a lot of love on AU and although it isn't the usual way to receive love, it is wonderful in so many ways. I'm heading down to your beautiful state to visit old friends this fall! Take Care.
