Ruth-
My husband passed 16 months ago. The guy I’m seeing right now is an electrician and was at my home, the first time, my husband was truly ill and dying. The next time he was at the house, my husband had passed and Bob asked me out “for coffee”, his wife had passed 2 years prior, he said he understood what I was going through. He gave me his business card and phone number, told me to call him if I wanted. It took me many months to contact him. I don’t do stuff like that, until Bob. We’ve been dating ever since and he’s great. I have a hard time not seeing him more. That being said, he’s still working full time, has his daughter still at home with him (she’s 24), and is very close to his immediate family. I’m trying to figure that stuff out, perhaps I will someday. Hope my story helps you.
