Building a new relationship after my wife's death.

It sounds like you have it together and are
looking ahead.

Jo was a special woman, your life with her
were was intertwined for those golden
year of raising children, gaining financial stability,
and growing older together. The fact is, you
will never stop missing her or thinking about
her. Those events will never happen
again.

I remember a couple I married in Michigan.
Both had been successfully married for over
20 years, had children, and has lost their
spouses. After about 4 or 5 years alone,
and after raising their youngest children,
they began to do things with each other.
This help[ed] them not be so lonely and did
led to their marriage. I remember him
telling me, "this time I am marrying for
a whole bunch of different reasons."

That was almost 20 years ago. Had you
visited their house you would have seen
pictures of both ex-spouses, side by side,
on the mantel. They were not forgotten,
nor were their children. They put their life
into a trust and everything was sorted
out. They taught me a lot about love, life, and
relationships.
