I am alone and very lonely. I wish I could put myself up for adoption! I have virtually no family (a couple of distant cousins). I am 71 years old. Not close to being under the ground.

Hi my friend! How are you feeling today? Did you have a nice weekend? How old are you? You’re retired, right? You’re married with 4 kids, is that right? And you live in England? What stage of Parkinson’s would you say you’re in? Let me know, my friend. Cheers!
