Hi Jackie!
I think as we pass through this jouney as part of our life, we become so much more aware of just how valuable and sweet it is to have those special partners and pals to make the trip with! Why not volunteer somewhere, visit a new church, try a new bookstore or something and do things you've always thought of doing. I'm sure no good at advice, but I surely will say a prayer that you get smacked with a new friend very soon. ma
