I don't know if I have introduced myself to all of you but I hope for as many years as I have left, I get to know more of you. Because of all of you, I now know what I want to spend all of my last years doing. I had an old hobby, my car that used to be where I put my time and money. Back then, I had more money but not much time. When I lost everyone dear to me, as well as my health and career, the car became much less important to me. Now that I know how I want to leave this earth (in a big Christmas display) I have to get rid of the old hobby first to finance the new one (I'm on SS). As a project car I would lose much of what I have invested but my health is not good enough to finish it. I decided to sell and get what I can so I can buy lights and things so I posted a message on the CorvetteForum. The encouragement and offers of help and awe-inspiring.
I'm dumbfounded - I don't think I am worthy of all the attention and it makes me feel really strange but I really need the help so I can fulfill my new found joy.
Well, after all that on the Corvette Forum, I got one call from someone here in Tucson but have not heard from him again. I guess people's intentions are good but everyone has their own problems to deal with.
I'm at a point where I don't know what to do. I find myself desperately grasping for things that will bring some happiness to this last part of my life but it is getting harder and harder. Finding this community has helped me enormously and given me hope and direction that I really needed. Almost all my life I either fixed things or developed them and I started to get some of that back again. Unfortunately, I do not have the means to bring things much past a prototype stage but its fun.
I know that I am new here but I hope to have many years to get to know some of you better. I get the feeling here that I can open up and share my feelings and not be looked down upon. I have been extremely depressed lately dealing with memories of all that have passed, two teenage boys that seem to have lost all respect for their Dad and the daily fear that today is the last day I have here on this Earth. As time goes by, my faith in GOD gets stronger and sometimes I just want to go and be with my family but I promised the kid's Mom, on her deathbed, that I would take care of them. Sometimes it all just hurts really bad.
