A friend of mine with his wife passed away many years ago, and he is 60 years now. We knew each other in my company last year and worked together for few months. He have a son and a daugter, the boy is in the army and the girl in high school with left himself in his house. He retired and asked the housekeeper leave, so there would be things he can do to spent time.
Yesterday i called him and had a long talk (we are not in the same country, so i can only talked with him by phone), he said nothing to do in home and no people can talk with, as his children are very far away, and friends all have their job. just play the computer and trying to do something. from the words i feel the feeling of lonely. It's like you drop into a deep and dark well, you can't touch anything and can't see anything. and you will never drop to the bottom until the day you live this world finish.
All of us often says we are boring & lonely and nothing to do. They don't know what is real boring and lonely. In our time of in this world, cherish all your friends, relatives, lover.
All things lost will never come back.

Yes, ofcourse he has his idea about his life. He is doing things he likes.
The main meaning of this is all of us. should cherish people around us. Expecially our parents, old Father and Mom. They will much happy if we give them a call or a visit. In morden life, most people don't live with their parents. When we were young, they protect and take care of us more than themself, we leave and work (far) away from them. at this time our parents becomes older and stay at home without their children around them. Close your eyes and think about it>
IF he cannot help it he should not live alone and at that age.
He could have useful hobbies , or get married again ;) so many needs companionship and itis advisable to be within ones family . As the children will too miss him one day
