I got choked up when all my uncles took my sons across the street to teach them to ride their bikes. They've been petrified to do it, well still are but we're working on at least TRYING. Anyways, I was so upset to see all the men in the family rally together to teach them. Man it's been a rough year for me and having no man around, I don't know why it makes me so sad lately. Bleh Christine Summer time is tough when you're single. People are outside more, and it's right there in front of you. I recall one spring,,,,several years ago.....driving along and everywhere I looked. couples. blech. Pigeons were on top of each other, cows were getting it, lol..............even farm animals were beginning to **** me off. Lisa |

"CME" wrote in message news:G_pIc.16512$iw3.6635@clgrps13... I danced with one of my sons at my cousin's wedding on Sat night. I got pretty choked up considering he's 8 and a half and well it's the first time I've ever danced with the lil man. Geez they're growing up too fast. On another note though, I find weddings so damn depressing, everyone around me is happy for the new couple, and here I am, thinking about myself and how I'm alone. Sorry to vent but it felt awful and I had to drag myself there knowing I'd feel that way for a couple hours. Bleh. Christine The right one will come along when you least expect it. I am still waiting too Christine...lol... but hopeful. HUGS, V |

'Kate I wouldn't know......my parents were married 52 years when my dad died, and the first thing my mom said, when realixing he has dead was......."What am I going to do....he was my whole life" Indeed. Can you imagine being someone's whole life? I feel like that would be a tremendous weight to shoulder even if one is perfectly willing to fill that role. I found that to be a positive thing between two happily married people. I suppose these days people aren't as prone to make another such a big part of their lives. Which brings me to another question....or series of questions (who knows?) What is a good marriage? Is there such a thing as being too dependent? How much of ones' self is individually defined? 'Kate It is all based on the self. You may not be happy being dependent on another in to many ways while another female might just LOVE it! I don't think there is a specific way to gauge happiness. I think only you or I or him or her can say what makes them happy. We are all different. T My parents were each other's best friend. It was not uncommon to see them holding hands while walking along. Yes, dad was completely lost after Mom died. A good marriage is the most important part of a good life. I will be the first to admit that I have not been married before because there truly hasn't been anyone that could share that I could share the same calibre of relationship.......until now that is. Lisa Yeah I agree. I hope one day I meet a man that loves me no matter what, and just makes me so happy to be with him. I look at my parents marriage sometimes and shake my head, I remember as a kid wondering why the hell they even stayed together. Now I see they're best friends, lovers (ack get that image out of my head) and they also fight but they are meant for eachother. So I'm a lil more hopeful for myself as I grow older, because I'm starting to know what I want and want I definitely do not want. I'm actually glad I didn't get married 4 years ago, it just wasn't time. Christine |

But I just started dating this remarkable man, and it has promise, it's an odd feeling to think that so soon, but we both communicate so well with eachother that I can't NOT see it working. Who knows, maybe the sex will suck, I dunno yet. If that's the case though I'll just have to train him well. lol Christine |
