My mom found a new love in a most serendipitous way just a few short months after my dad died at 61. Mom was 59 and much too young to live alone the rest of her life. Some people thought it was too soon and that she was disrespecting my dad’s memory. I always felt that she had a right to be happy again. And she was - for 23 years until her death in 2022.

Don’t let what others think make a difference. Follow your heart. It sounds like your new relationship already has a good foundation. I wish you all the best! ❤️
