What gives your life meaning? What makes you want to live?

It was the volunteer work I did...free home repairs for folks who could not afford to get them done.

It gave me Purpose. And I met so many genuinely nice folks who I never would have otherwise crossed paths with. It made me part of this community. Did it for 7 years, as a worker and treasurer/business guy. I worked in over 3 dozen homes. Then we ran out of money & volunteers.

Been [unsuccessfully] looking for a replacement.

Right now it's the community work we do through church, but that's not nearly as often (or as hands-on) as the home repair stuff I had done.
 
My son with Downs syndrome, he will be crushed when I die. I talk to him about it. Tell him it is getting closer to my leaving and waiting for him in heaven. He has had friends that have died. He knows the process. But he simply can’t understand that some day his mom will be gone.

He is why I have to stick as long as I can.
