“I just read your column in The Mercury, Friday, April 21, 2006. How right you are to advise the lady to consult with her wise and long-term friends (regarding the sale and moving from her home). We have just sold our lovely family home after 28 years. We are down sizing and it is indeed a most stressful time. However, we are blessed to have each other to see ourselves through this time while trying to find a smaller secure ‘lock-up-and-go’ place to stay. We could not agree with you more. Now is the time for the lady to consult with trusted, long-term friends. We certainly value the advice and friendship we are receiving right now from such special friends. I dedicate your brief article to good, faithful friends worldwide.”
Wisdom can be the result when a community of friends put their heads together, shelve their personal ambitions, and seek to assist each other. My only hope is the reader has such a community and that her feelings of isolation are not exacerbated by my suggestions!
