| New story concept I'm knocking around. Love and relationship advice columnist who has been divorced, is middle aged, etc. Kind of a romantic comedy. Not sure what I'm going to do with it, probably nothing, but I want to know if the concept works.
Does it? Dear Single Guy…My name is Don.
I’m 43.
I’m a widower.
My wife died three years ago.
She was the love of my life, my high school sweetheart.
I’ve fallen off the horse, Single Guy, and I’m afraid to climb back on for another ride.
I have met someone that I really like. She’s a great gal. In fact, I think I might be falling in love with her, but I’m torn, you know? I feel like I’m betraying the memory of my wife, and that love we shared.
We were soul mates. She was truly the other half of my soul.
What do I do, Single Guy?
I don’t want to spend the rest of my life alone. I love my wife, but I’m falling in love here I think. I don’t want to lose her. I can’t imagine spending another day of my life without her.
Sincerely,
Don, the Heart Sick Widower.Dear Heart Sick…Then don’t.
We all fall off that horse at one time or another.
The question you have to ask yourself is, do you lie there and wallow... |
