One grows up family orientated, always having Aunts, Uncles & cousins around, especially holidays, it's a great way to live. Especially as an only child.
Than, you marry and try to keep the tradition going so your own children can appreciate family.
Times moves on, children age and leave home to live their own lives, the cycle rotates yet you never expected to have your soulmate leave as well, and you find yourself alone now. Memorial Day, 4th of July, they no longer include family, you go through the day as any other.
Even your birthday is just another day, very impersonal......what happened to family traditions?
Friends? One is very lucky to have them, but when your spouse does not like their spouses, you stop the get togethers and before long the friendships.
So now you find yourself all alone, but you continue to live, what else do you have? Day follows day, week follows week, someday the end will arrive and the family will be together again, that is all one has now.
