I have known this woman for over 30 years and neither of her daughters talk to her. That strikes me as odd, so I asked her about that today. She said that her ex-husband turned them against her.

Well, I have been around for a while and I suspect that is part of the story. But there was no reason for me to pry or pester her. She is in a tight spot, for sure.

I have one son who will do what he can for me, but he lives far away. Which reminds me, I need to draft a new will and set up a trust for him and his family.
