The Widow’s Friend, is the compelling tale of an old flame suddenly rekindled. In some ways it is a common yarn, and will reach out and touch a lot of lives. You never know when love will find you, but find me it did in a surprising way.

My life was winding on. Widowed just four years ago, I was resolved to finish my life alone, but then something happened. An old friend found me on Facebook, and we began the renewal of an old courtship that had ended many years before. I had lived my life and he had lived his, and now we found ourselves talking again. I found it to be not only just a chance at hope, but it was also very much exhilarating, and much to my surprise, our personalities dovetailed perfectly.

Our lives were different, his and mine. After marrying multiple times, I had ended up a widow, and very much alone. He was the faithful spouse. Though generally unhappy in a turbulent marriage, he had raised his kids in the midst of it all, as he staunchly weathered the tempests of life.

He was so nice and so fun to talk to as our minds melded and our hearts touched. We were just two lonely people, becoming newly reacquainted and coming back together after all these many years, and now that we have, we’re so glad that we did.
