They've had people phone in and send letters in about being lonely at Christmas.
I have to say, the first letter nearly brought me to tears as he seemed so hopeless - he was 59 I think and he'd been alone for over 20 years and it seemed like nobody bothers with him all talks to him - he ended his letter with 'it's too late for me, but it doesn't have to be for someone else.' Literally heartbreaking
The first lady on the phone sounded like she was crying. The third one's son died, it's awful, even the lady that deals with all the letters is crying.
I'm too sensitive to listen to this stuff I just end up a blubbering wreck, but hey at least I care I guess, I want to write all of them and give them some company and some happiness.
It's so sad.
So if any of you are spending christmas alone, or miserable, talk to someone, PM me - I know most of us probably won't be alone, but you don't have to be alone to be lonely - trust me.
Last year I had the worst Christmas, I cried near enough all day as my sister was close to death through anorexia and that's all I could think about with it possibly being her last Christmas, there were arguments and much sadness. Thankfully this year she is recovering and I'm looking forward to what will hopefully be a happy Christmas.
So yes, just a pause for thought for those that maybe won't be having a wonderful Christmas.
If you know anyone that may be lonely, just pick up the phone.
