Thinking of The Past =Part 7 More Horizons

One afternoon I had a day off from work since I had been working a lot of overtime and decided to go out to a restaurant a few blocks from where I lived. It was pretty crowded but they had a table for two and I was seated there. I ordered a cup of coffee and a water and then the next thing I hear this voice above me asking me if I was waiting for someone, I said no so this man asked if he could sit with me as they had no seat for him. Well I said yes he could join me and we got to talking then ordered our food and continued talking about various things and then we exchanged email addresses. That evening I received a nice note from him in my email. This went on for a while and since he was building a website and needed some help I offered so he asked me to do some research, which I did. About 3 months went by and he was coming back to town (he lived up in the mountains in CA) and asked if we could meet up. I said okay why not. We spent a whole day together just going around town and had a great time. We went on this way for about a year or so and then he asked me to marry him. After a time we decided since his sister was by herself that we would move to . Oklahoma to be near her, so here I go again packing again and away we went. He was not only my husband but my best friend and Soul Mate. No he wasn't perfect but he was a good person and always treated me good. I loved living in Oklahoma and he took me all over that State to see the beauty there. Did I tell you he was disabled but he always had something to do, like mowing the grass, repairing what needed to be done. He had been a bachelor for a number of years so he could also cook, clean house and do laundy and he was good at it which was not something I was used to in a man. We were only married for eleven years when he passed away right in front of me, I couldn't stay in my house after that and when my son and his wife asked me if I wanted to come back to Arizona and stay with them I said yes so I sold most of my furnishings and my home. Then when my sons job went down the tubes because of the economy he found a job out of state and was working in the Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota area they sold their home and we all moved up here.
