I can't imagine either of my parents with someone else. They've been married for 35 years and are very happy. They have one of those marriages that most people dream about. They still act like a pair of lovesick teenagers half the time! I hope my marriage lasts as well as theirs. However, if & when one of them moves on, I would want the other to be happy again, whatever that meant for them. If it means dating, remarriage, simple companionship, and there were happy, I'd be ok with that.

I've thought about what I would do if something happens to Stuart. I don't expect I'd ever have this kind of love again, but also don't think I'd be alone for the rest of my life. Love comes in many forms and wether we like it or not, life goes on.

I have an Aunt who was a widow twice before she was 55. She has children from her first marriage who were raised by her second husband(my uncle). My uncle died two years ago. She's now dating again. Her kids are a little upset, but they still include her friend in activities. Life has kicked the crap out of her already. She deserves a world of happiness. I hope she finds it.
