Here I am writing a quick post. How quick, I ask myself.
I do not know how long ago I published a post of mine.
I mentioned the passing of dear Les Szabo, didn’t I? Well, I can only say he is still dearly missed. For me a lot has changed since his passing. I still live at home but are in need of a lot of help. Since at this stage it is not possible for me to get a lot of help, I just try to exist with a minimum of help. Strangely enough so far this has not led to any major changes in my wellbeing. However, I must say daily communication with one special person probably has helped to keep me alive.
Auntie, Sister. Grandmother, Great-Grandmother,
Mother and Wife of German Descent
I've lived in Australia since 1959 together with my husband Peter. We have four children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I started blogging because I wanted to publish some of my childhood memories. I am blogging now also some of my other memories. I like to publish some photos too as well as a little bit of a diary from the present time. Occasionally I publish a story with a bit of fiction in it. Peter, my husband, is publishing some of his stories under berlioz1935.wordpress.com

Special people who step up to help us in our time of need are priceless!!
Jan, Les and I, we both felt lonely after having to live alone when our spouses passed away.
During the 10 months that Les was with me, we both loved so much to be together every day. Sadly, Les passed away.
I am still waiting to get a bit more help that I need to live alone in my very old age. However, I am so lucky to get very meaningful online love and support.
Well Jan, I am not just old, I am very old. Still, I want to be able to look after myself. I believe with some household help and giving me a lift to go shopping as well as to places where I need to or want to go, and with assistance on the computer, well if I CAN GET ALL THIS HELP mobility problems, bad hearing and very bad eyesight are easier to cope with. I still enjoy conversations, eating and sleeping. So that means that I am still a bit alive, doesn’t it? I wonder for how long a 90-year-old can expect to keep on living.
I cannot believe either, Carolyn, that it is June already. Here in Australia the government is about to change a few things so that people who need more age care are able to get it. Sounds promising!

How old is old?

Live while you live, right? Carpe’ Diem!! You do that very well, Uta. At 86, I am not far behind you. Keep on keepin’ on!! ❤
The work of aging requires all the help we can get.
Yes Linda, this is so true. I think we are very lucky if we can get more and more help as we get older and older.
Yes, we all need friends and helpers. 🙂
How are you doing, Uta?
I can’t believe it’s June! Time just flies by!
