You have suffered for a long time, it surely could contribute to your on going depression.
sorry you suffer with depression.

I definitely think that your stroke has contributed to your depression in more than one way... I've noticed that you think more about death now, as well as your relationship with Myra, which tends to bring up mixed and unhappy memories :hug::hug::hug:

I wish you hadn't watched the funeral, Bobby :hug:

I think you are right on. I am not reading as much which is my form of escape.
I have tried to watch the U.S. Open. Now I am realizing I wish I had a sister and not that I miss Myra who was never close to me and who always disliked me. She used to call me the fool on the hill. I just remembered when my father defended me against her when I went out with somebody and then she went out with the guy and my father thought that was bad of her.

I wish for easier days for you,

You have lots of adopted sister's. Us.

Not the same. But we are here

Donna :hug::grouphug:

that was so sweet. Thank you so much Donna!
Fondly
Bobby

That WAS very sweet, Donna :hug::hug::hug:

Thanks, but it is true.

I think of us as sisters. And the guys as Brothers. Which is really awesome for me, I don't have any real brothers. Just brother-in-laws and my brothers here are different than the brother in laws are. Weird as that might sound.
Maybe not of the same mother and dad.

My mother used to say. We may not have family that is close physically to us.
But we have friends, that are family that is close to us here were we live. As the years went by its those same friends that came from far away to honor my mother at her showing and funeral. Because they always felt like family. Along with all the close friends that felt like family close by.

My mother blessed us with the thought to grow our family with others that would help us when we needed it. To help others when they needed us.
And to always care for our neighbors.

So that is how we all try to live now.
I guess its why I'm like I am. Its also how my sister's had others to stay with while I spent a week at Riley for many years during my growing years for testing. They stayed with what my mom and dad considered family.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

We are like a family of sorts.

I feel like we are family. I wish we all lived close to each other... I love hugs... and sometimes we all need them :hug::hug::hug:
