So it's no surprise to me that his adult children struggled. Heck, when Aimee's father died, she struggled with the idea of her mother dating again. It's normal, but I'm sorry that it came between the two of you.Pat Rhoadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608587744141243108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271970024270432796.post-44074713946857850382013-12-05T20:30:17.800-08:002013-12-05T20:30:17.800-08:00Hi Pat,

I'm sure that Aimee is dancing in heaven with the news as I know that above all else...she would want your happiness.<br />I have watched your blog and was so sadden by the sudden death of Aimee. As a trauma nurse I have been involved in giving bad news to family members...it's so very difficult to be the bearer of such news. It effects those of us involved in trying to save a life...especially one so young.<br />I applaud you for having the courage to find love again. And to Sarah...she must be a very special woman as I'm sure her journey has not been easy. <br />I met a man a in 2012 who lost his wife to cancer shortly before Aimee's death. We dated for a bit and were very happy. His adult children, however, had a hard time with it. He ended the relationship in order to help his children through their grief. Although I understood...I was devastated. <br />I'm so glad that you have the support of her family to start life anew. What a gift. Good luck to you. Merry Christmas Pat. Be happy!<br /><br />EEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12186467296978704144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271970024270432796.post-8379129378095909182013-12-05T15:29:41.683-08:002013-12-05T15:29:41.683-08:00Thanks Hollie.

Not only as a person who knew Aimee personally, but as a person in general. I honestly do not think Aimee would want you to go on in life alone. I am sure she knew there would times that Rowan would need a mommy figure, even though Donna is a grandmother, supporter family member, and a friend. I know Aimee would want you to be happy, and if Sarah makes you happy, I am happy for you both.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022782888776789403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271970024270432796.post-29287330341576982492013-12-05T12:01:59.402-08:002013-12-05T12:01:59.402-08:00Hi Joan,

This has certainly been a whole new arena for me, but by God's grace I seem to be doing things as well as could be expected, and it's been great having so much support .<br /><br />Thanks again for stopping by my blog. In particular, if you know any men going through grief and loss, please consider pointing them here. <br /><br />-PatPat Rhoadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608587744141243108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-271970024270432796.post-13477598589918478422013-12-05T11:11:33.897-08:002013-12-05T11:11:33.897-08:00HI Pat,

I have been inspired as I have read some of your posts here and watched the "mermaid / swimming video of Rowan and her Mommy. I just wanted to say God Bless you and Sarah in this blossoming, human connection , and even tho we've never met, I will be praying for a strong, loving and growing relationship.
