The Love of My Life is not in
town - apologies sent and accepted graciously – but still I am alone on a long weekend. Billy like the
gallant soul-twin-knight he is came to my rescue to escort me to an
iconic festival. He’s dating currently, so I was happy he had time for me!
Really – I am
so thankful for Billy and need to mention again the importance of platonic
friends.
So many
older people are alone and particularly older men may have no-one to hug them
and look after them. There is so much value in questioning and rejecting social
norms that insist on alienation and social isolation.
Billy and I
are maintaining a framework of social connection and support that should
continue right into our golden years and which will not depend on being lucky
enough to be in a happy marriage with a living partner (who also happens to be
in town).
