I am so glad that you are at the point where you can get on with your life. And doubly glad that you have found such a nice lady. I'm also glad that your son and she are friends. Take care my friend and have a wonderful life.

sometimes its best just to jump in!Wait too long and too many things get in the way! A life time ago my widowed mother met someone, but thought it was too soon!She had asked me what I thought.... My thought was & is "THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IS A LONG TIME TO BE ALONE" She didn't take the chance, so she was married 20yrs and has been a widow 43- go for it!!!!!!

Arron, I know from experience (my DH's soul was set free almost 4 years ago) that the pain will pass in it's own time. Only you can tell how long that will be. The pain will pass but you will always have her in your heart, and that part will allow you to share your love again. We are made to live and care for others and are happier doing that than living alone.
Good luck to you and your loving son and whomever fits into your life and hearts.

So wonderful Arron. I'm sure Cathy had a hand in you finding Jill. Our angels have funny ways of make things happen. I'm glad to hear that those who you love are supportive of you and Adrian moving forward with your lives. Its important for a child to see the future while remembering the past.
Take good care of yourself and your little one
Happy 2011

Thank you all for the good thoughts.
Yeah I can see Cathy having a hand in this too.
Right about the 3.5 month mark(not a good time for me)
I was at work which is in a very smelly factory with machines that are up to 70 years old and well worn(they leak alot of oil based fluids) and the smells are usually of oil products and rust and stale air. I have a sign off sheet at the work station I was in for a long time..... and one day I smelled fresh bandages!!!! But if I move so much as an inch...no smell! I know this happened for sure two days in a row and I can think of one other day maybe two where it was there. I know now...It was Cathy trying to let me know she was OK(fresh bandages..her wounds were taken care of!)
and that I would be ok and in time all would be ok.
I have had a couple of other things happen here at the apartment as well.
Ya all might think I am grasping at reality here, but I am truly as sane as I ever have been .. as far as I know anyway! HA HA!! But I equate this with the "holy Spirit" working on you to bring you to place of understanding and acceptance. Where you are ready and open to see what you are being shown...and until you hit that point. We will explain it away as only a settling house, or a creaky board. Or whatever. Not a "visit" or as some say a "sign" I know what I know and it ain;t much some days. Other day's I seem to have good idea what the heck is going on.
In the end... we are born and live and die. That is the only sure things in this thing we call life. The rest ...well it is just the BS we choose to get dealt as we "live."
Ya' all take care now.
