I am so sorry about your Mom..I guess I relate to her sadness more than your Dad's...Hers is both an awakening to the new woman in herself and the difficult job of truly letting herself free....She is a new woman and all these years she has kept herself hidden, are now to be let free....I am sure you will be of much help along this line...

Church groups are great places to meet eligible men...Not necessarily your church but move on to another if you do not find what you are seeking there...Sometimes charity work at a hospital but mostly getting out and around...Building confidence in herself is her main agenda at this time...I have heard of some nice dating sites in the US...Many are very reputable...I know Dr. Phil had one. A woman had written me and asked me about this...I looked and was very impressed by it....This showed your picture, age and other things pertaining to the person. A person is not able to find more about you unless you want them to...Each step is a new beginning and each day another new adventure....

I hope that everything turns out well for her...Tell her to just take one step at a time...She is still very young and there are many wonderful men out there hoping to find a woman like her...Tell her a man's looks are not everything...Actually they are skin deep...Some of the most wonderful and charming men are not great looking but what is beneath the skin is a joy to behold...Don't rule out a younger or older man...Be open minded....Here I am telling you all these things that I do not know, but at least I have tried..

Take care and much luck to both you and her, Caroline
