Companionship wanted: Craig's chess and a cup of tea
Craig lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Craig, who's 73. Craig lives alone in Glasgow, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 450 kilometers away.
Craig loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person.
All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity.
No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone, Cynthia. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
