After my wife died, I was sort of on autopilot. I took a couple of trips to places she had no desire to go. I was still w*king, as I had no other way to fill the days.
After my last trip alone, I wrote the following at the end of my trip story: [FONT="]At this point my life is at a crossroads. I have no idea when my next trip is or where it will be to. Time will tell[/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="]When I came back from that trip, I said I had no idea where I would be going next, but I did not want to be traveling alone again. Well, life is funny that way, because I met a wonderful lady named KL, who is a widow and has sons about the same age as mine.She became my Plan A and we will celebrating our 11th anniversary next week.

Very happy for you!
My DW has lost two close siblings in the last 2 years, and it has given me pause to consider where I'd be if I were to lose her. Nowhere, I'm afraid.
"Man plans, God laughs"...all too true.
