Companionship wanted: Luna's opera and a cup of tea

Luna lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Luna, who's 88. Luna lives alone in Laredo, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Luna loves opera, 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

      Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Machakos so I could bring a meal.

          Wishing you peace, Silas. Wishing Luna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
