For Six Sundays Now, Dennis No Longer Appears In Skype

I am bombarded with many problems this time. I supposed not to have problems being single,, but problems are part of my existence. For more than a month now, Dennis no longer showed up in Skype. The last chat we had, he looked so pale and thin. His weight before having that Pakinson's disease was 203 pounds. The last chat we had, he only had 87 pounds.
I am afraid he does not want me see his current physical update. This saddens me much. I am still waiting for the responses of my cousins. I am so affected. I want to know the truth. May 19 was Dennnis' birthday, he did not appear on line. He just messaged me in few words: card received. I sent him birthday card that made him happy.
For me, year 2017 is so unkind, unfriendly, unfair. I hope your 2017 is very kind to you.
Thanks for your time.

I am sorry to hear. I hope you get updates soon from your cousins. Has he tried any natural remedies maybe?

aw, this makes me sad too. isn't it crazy going through it and to think that you're single..? it makes me smile sometimes cause i think about it. i go through it sometimes.. cant imagine having a family on my own and handle all these other problems to think about.
i really hope it gets better for you and Dennis soon friend.

@cacay1 I understand how you're feeling right now. Maybe you know how to contact his family, or perhaps his son? Just to make sure how Dennis is doing right now.

Life can be so unkind to us at @cacay1 It seems almost senseless to say "hope all is well" after you shared the details.

@marlina , he is getting weaker everyday.He lost lots of weight, so sad.He will be brought by his only son to Christchurch. Benjie lives and works in Christchurch. I am happy at least they can bond and there is a son who knows what is best for his dad.

@LadyDuck , we usually spend only 10 minutes chatting. He likes to always sleep, he always feels sleepy. It might be he is sleeping during his chosen schedule 10 in the morning, Philippine time,.NZ is five hours advance of our time.Your presumption might also be correct, Benjie disallows his dad to get exhausted with some minutes chat. I pay he will have some years to live. I already accept everything, that is life, no one stays forever from a borrowed life. I have to be strong.

@ridingbet The photo I supposed to post here was taken 3 years ago, he was not sick at this year.The internet here is so slow that might be the reason why it cannot be uploaded despite resized.

@cacay1 try to crop it na lang, my friend. if you resize it, all of the picture will just be made smaller, whereas if you crop it, you remove a part of the top, or bottom, or both sides and yet the picture will be fine.

@responsiveme That is true so many there in Nw Zealand. Dennis lives and relies on medicine to prolong his life.
