Don't just sit and rock!

Is the young male relative still there? 

Yes. He was on drugs -- bad stuff --  when they dropped him off while they were moving. He's one of the lucky ones, able to break the habit, with a lot of 'help' from me. I gave up a lot  -- I'm a loner by nature and have a lot of interests that I had to more or less put  aside.  I think I could write a book on the subject. Maybe some day. Right now I imagine walking on a beach somewhere ....

Well that's a tremendous burden to bear, especially for a loner, but kudos to you for taking up the cause.  I hope he gets out of your hair soon and you can return to normal life.

Thank you.  It's been a very emotional experience for me, for more than one reason. He was a little boy when my son died suddenly. I'm an optimist, so guess having him here, plus the support of one dear friend, helped me survive.
