TeaRs & FeArS

Hello, I am always saddened by others grief, and it sounds like you are really struggling. I just hope that this message will give you a brief respite from your despair. From what I have read of your blogs you have a lot of value as a daughter and as a friend. Being single is hard in any country and culture - I know I am a white, Canadian living a "good" life but have spent the majority of it as a single woman. I watch my friends go through the big happy weddings, pregnancies with adoring husbands at their sides and ask why not me. I am now spending my days taking care of my ailing mother. I decided I am going to cherish every moment of my life - I am alive and healthy and have family. One day the rest will come (well except the pregnancies as I am too old for that now!) I hope to be the best possible person when true love does appear for me. So please hang in their and take care of yourself!!

Dear Gayla

Firstly, thank you so much for reading. Just knowing that someone is reading makes me feel that I am not that alone.

Secondly, thank you for caring enough to drop this very comforting and inspirational note.

And yes I do agree that single people can be living lives as fulfilled as, (or in many cases, even more than) married people. I am trying to stay within groups with happy single people, but even this is difficult.

Yes I am still struggling, and am still trying very hard to find peace within myself and hopefully, one day, I can be as positive as you, living a fully-charged life every single day.

I will keep trying. Thanks again. *smiles*
