The blogger who came in from the cold

Hi Everyone, it’s been a long time since I have written anything for this site but now the time has come when I just must because I cannot handle the current events without having somewhere to vent.  I have a hard time doing it on facebook as I have many on my list who are either on the other side or who are ambivalent including in my own family..
So here I am again to connect with you folks and share the sadness and sometimes outright horror with this new world we have entered.  I think many people have their eyes shut as to what the future ramifications are.  I fear for my children and grandchildren what kind of world we will be leaving to them.
I have another thing to discuss also.  Our friend and my very close friend for years Shirlstars has dementia and at this point she still knows me but nothing about me.  That is despite over 12 years of daily comunication with her.  
It is sad and hard for me to accept.  I really am unsure of what to do as far as continuing any sortof relationship.  She is living in Oklahoma with or rather sort of under the care of a very nice woman but she is at the point where she is being rebellious  and cannot handle money anymore while her caretaker has been trying to protect her as she has power of attorney and tries to limit the cash she gets as she loses it, etc.

So I’ve done it, I’ve written again and I would love to hear from any old friends or make new ones.
Hugs
