I am thrilled to see how good the years has been to you and our Olori.

Please continue to bask in God favour and peace.

Thank you. All things work together for good, for those called according to His purpose. Sometimes bad things happen, but God has a wonderful way of making things so right again.

I lost my wife almost 2 years ago and I'm trying to make a new life for me and my 2 kids. My late wife and I had a fantastic relationship (and i really mean fantastic). I've found out that I'm not really interested in starting a new relationship, even though everybody tells me i should. I'm 37, have a very good job and very protective about my children. Right now, I build my life around them. Is there anybody who has had a similar experience? I would really like to now how you were able to overcome it, because I'm not finding it particularly easy, especially with the fact that women have almost turned me into a product that has to be purchased at all costs. Right now, i am practically terrified of women (based on experience) and I find that a bit disturbing. Hope some people could help me out. Thanks[/b]

Yes, time does fly. I actually just turned 57, and Olori turns 50 next week. Daughter number 1 graduated from university last year and is going to medical school next year. She's also a lieutenant in the US Army. The other 2 kids are both in college, studying Architecture and Public Health Services, respectively. I almost can't believe this started in 2006......... 19 years ago. Wow.

I truly hope this platform does give someone somewhere hope; that life does continue happily, even after tragedy. I'm living proof of that.

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas and happy holidays ahead. Serubawon out!

What a wonderful thread. 19 years, wow!

May your family remain blessed

Merry Christmas and have a happy new year

Wow. I see I commented on this thread in the early days and was one of the first to suggest our brother consider a single mom. I am happy you opened your mind to the possibility. At your age and with children of your own, you needed an almost complete person not someone just starting out. You also needed someone much more mature. Olori owe me a Lamborghini Diablo.

Your experience with your ex-wife prepared you to be there for someone who needed you like Olori. I strongly believe we all go through things in the present for a future purpose. A lot of people get stuck in the present and cannot move from there. I also experienced a huge loss once that really almost took me down. But I learnt a certain level of detachment after the person died. Now, no loss in this world can take me to such depths again. It took me at least 10yrs to get over that loss. So, anyone dealing with loss, may God help you to look to what the future holds and realize that what you are feeling will not last forever.

Also, always learn to keep at least 40% of your heart for shock absorber because life happens in the worst way to the best of us and all we can do is brace for the impact to survive the disaster. I am happy for you Broda Serubawon and our wife, HRH Olori 1 of Houston.

RTFM, hope you are fine. Been quite a while. I hope you have a wife, family and lovely kids now. All the best.

Wow! I popped in to see what is happening these days and the thread is still alive! Best wishes to all, especially Serubawon!
