I was at a funeral today. The father spoke how his son, who died, had said how lonely he was. But the funeral was packed. Standing room only. People lined out through the lobby. It is sad that someone that felt so lonely had so many friends. At the end the parking lot was full of everyone talking to each other. A parking lot full of people that weren't alone. Please, if you are feeling lonely, reach out to someone. If you know someone that seems lonely reach out. I'm an antisocial hermit, it's always nice to be invited. Even if I never intend to go.

I don't know. That's why I wrote about it. It's sad it takes a tragedy to see what is really there. I know I've started looking deeper at people. I simply ask 'are you doing ok?'. What if that's all it takes to turn someone around? I know it helped me when I was asked that question.
