I am taking a break from the telling of the crazy soap opera.
The most helpful comments I received were from two men who are older than me. One wrote me wanting me to feel assured that I don't owe anybody anything. The other passionately agreed with the first one.
There are so many basic things I've existed without, that those comments felt like huge healing hugs. It reminds me of something a student once told me. He said, "Where you see holes, you put flowers." I felt like where these two men saw wounds, they put medicine.

See - old guys are good for some things.
For many important things.
