dear friend,
hi,
i am mona from pakistan, i am 36 and feeling lonely too , may be like you. i think u r lucky to celebrate your happiest day with cat or dog, i sometimes pass this day as i have taken a medicine! often my husband is not with me due to arme person.
so life is like that. atleast we are not alone in this world.
take care, and always enjoy your life.
mona
