While my husband was with me longer, and my time in this solitary state has been nowhere near as long as yours, I still can understand the emotions here. You wonder why, some find another immediately while others are left to trek alone. You have a beautiful soul, one would be blessed to be able to dance with you and they may yet.
Thank you so much for the understanding thoughts Rebecca… when my husband passed we were raising 4 children 10 and under… my sole focus became them, I think in many ways the solitary path was pre-destined, I didn’t have the time or energy for ‘dating’ … and now, well it’s just been so long.
I’m sorry you lost him young. I was engaged for a short time, but Viet Nam ended that dream. He died in that famous valley from friendly fire. I was only 26. William and I planned a simple farm life. He’d farm and I’d write. Well, I write. They did find his bones and dog tag for his mother. She offered it to me, but I felt she needed it more.
I hope you feel better soon.
Me and so many others. In a way I was lucky I was young. Able to just go on. My family never knew about him. I saw no reason to tell them. Our time together was so brief.

Life unfolds in a sad way sometimes… but we have to live the best we can with what fate gives us.
I’m so sorry so war took your William from you.
