Congratulations are in order for my mom and her fiance', Charlie!! Charlie and Mom announced today that they are making plans and preparations to be married later this year.
I am happy for her because I know it has been a long, lonely road for her since my dad passed almost 5 years ago. Charlie is also a widower and experienced a similar difficult passing of his wife about 4 years ago. Neither my Mom or Charlie ever expected to find happiness again with another mate, but God is good and saw fit that they should find one another and begin to share their lives together.
As God would have it, they both bought condos in the same complex and met as they were out and about in the neighborhood. As cordial hellos grew to friendly chats over coffee then on to dinners and movies, their relationship grew. They both fill a need in the other for love and companionship. And the rest is not so much history as it is the future.
I wish them both much joy and happiness in the years to come. I love you Mom!
Thank you for your kind words and yes I am finding this is a very addictive thing. I love all the people that you come to feel like you "know". Give my best wishes to your mom ...it a gift from God to find love after loss. I was a young widow at 24 but God blessed me with another wonderful man to share my life with..just like He has your mom. Have a blessed evening....
