Probably I was crying my eyes out. How DO you make friends without kids?<br /><br />I miss them so much. I feel so alone. I do have some very nice friends, lovely friends. But I have no family at all. I have a fear of getting stuck in the hospital all by myself and not having anybody to be with me.
