Tyme I feel a lot like you do and am almost completely alone since my mother and both brothers died suddenly about 4-1/2 years ago. All my grandparents, aunts and uncles are deceased and I don't know if I have any distant relatives.
I no longer go to my high school and college class reunions. I discovered that time stops for no one; the high school beauty queen who was stuck-up and acted like a diva had become old, fat, ugly, gray, and wrinkled with a big butt. The school football captain was bald, wore dentures, and drank too much....and to think that I once drooled over him. I'm sure the wrinkles at the corners of my mouth and the crow's feet around my eyes must be from smiling too much. Sometimes my hair changes color on its own; I have changed it so many times I don't know what color it's supposed to be and I think the white roots around the front may be an indication that I'm going blonde. lol
I am very happy with my life and what I have become and have nothing to prove to anyone. I'm not interested in answering questions about my career, my success (and failures), or my husband. That seems to be the basis for class reunions in my neck of the woods and I don't attend.
