Hi Kate,
I'm full time. Widowed for 6 years now. Not how I thought I would raise a
family but life happens. It never seems to get easier but nobody ever said
life would be aesy, right? :-)

How was your Thanksgiving. How many children do you have?

Happy Holidays to you as well... And welcome of course... I have a 18 1/2 yr
old boy who's in university... I also have a 14 1/2 yr old girl who's
attempting to put me in the insane asylum! LOL

Condolences to you and your family Kate. I think you know better than most
what it is like. Your kids were older, had to be hard on them. I only had
two. Didn't sink in for a couple years for them. That gave me time to
adjust.
Good on ya for raising three children on your own.

Haven't remarried. Between kids and work, time to meet others is limited.
I'll keep trying... You?

What part of the world do you live? I live in So. Cal.

Hello and welcome, Happy Holidays to you and yours ! I am Bev, I have a

out there in California, a recently turned 18 year old living, working,
and going to school, here at home with me and she has an almost 2 year
old daughter keeping us on the go here in Pennsylvania!

Yes I do think my kids are missing out. I can be the best father in the
world but there are things a mother does that a father can never do.
Especially for my daughter. It's a Maternal thing.

Dry heat my butt! I hate that saying. It's just insanely hot in the desert.
No Thanks, I live near the ocean, I travel a lot for work and have been to
some beautiful places on both coasts. I keep coming back here. I can sail
year round, drive to the mountains to ski, and I never have to shovel snow.

There is no place to live that is perfect, we have earthquakes. :-)

Hello Dennis,

Wow, Three boys. Good Job! Any advice for a fellow single dad?

> Greetings from Ireland

I made it to London last year . Ran out of time so I didn't make it to your
part of the world. Maybe next year.
