YOU are a very beautiful person with a heart of gold. Your post shows that.
As far as people wanting money to help/support you, THAT breaks my heart into pieces. We leave with what we came with, NOTHING, and for people to want something to be nice and/or helpful is just plain WRONG.
I do not have much, no job since June, 2020, and I was with he same company for 29.5 years also, and I have no friends , except here!!, or family and I would NEVER EVER want anything but for the other person to smile, feel great about themselves and the world around them. Sometimes humanity gets me down when i read about how things come down to money.
I truly love and care about/for YOU, as you are a great friend to me, we have never met and so what!, I just get a great feeling from your post as to how nice you are.
I send you the mental picture of you standing in a field of beautiful flowers with a bright sunny day surrounding you and a gentle breeze flowing over and around you.
All my best!!!!!!
Walter
