not alone in thought

I published my last post without really "finishing" it - sorry about that.

I had dinner with my friend K last night and she is also single and close to my age. In our discussion last night she commented on how hard it is to face life alone. To realize that there are no kids to come after who will be there when we will start to need help. To realize how difficult it is to do life alone - no one to share burdens with or work with. These were kind of the thoughts that I was trying to get at in my last post that I didn't really articulate very well.

I guess that is where my "anger" comes in: I feel that we were created to be in community with family and when that family doesn't exist and we want it to (for whatever reasons it might be), it is very frustrating. Feeling alone is the hardest part of being single.
