I always said that I would probably never marry again if anything happened to Tim. But, little did I know, God had other plans. When Mark and I had our first date the day before Father’s Day, I didn’t want to tell the kids since their dad had been gone less than a year. When I did finally tell them, the two older kids were fine with it, but the younger two, not so much. But, it didn’t take long for them to warm up to Mark and now they are quite OK with their step-dad! And the grandkids are fine with their step-grandpa, too! It doesn’t mean that we don’t miss Tim, but everyone has embraced Mark with love! Even the in-laws have embraced Mark…Tim’s mom told me that she believed Tim would be just fine with knowing Mark was taking good care of me!

FYI - this is a photo of my deceased husband and my current husband. Tim died of melanoma. He had to wear an eye patch because the cancer had gotten into his brain and was affecting his eye sight causing double vision. Tim was my pastor husband and Mark loved his pastor as shown in this photo.
