and have found that the survival rate for 5 years is 15%. My wife knows the same. We have no family here in Florida anymore and our kids are in Texas and Arkansas. Our friend total is minimal and there are none that I know that have any fortitude, boy that was a hard thing to realize.

Where I work, I'm just the maintenance guy, where she works, she's just an admin clerk. Neither of us have developed after work relationships with anyone.

Do you have any idea where I should look for the supportive person(s)? I'm at a loss.
