Add to your woes, my being broke. After decades of giving to my sisters and their families, I've been told I'm not part of theirs and am on my own. Good luck Jack.

My beloved and I have been together for 35 years and like you, I've done it all. I'm tired. Really tired. If I knew how to lay down and just die, I would; but on I go, tired.
