And so, rather than face life alone, he wishes to marry again? More power to him. He believes in love and I find that touching.

I’m sorry he hasn’t been much of a presence in your life. Perhaps you can play the adult this time and approach him, wish him well and extend an invitation to play a bigger part in your life with his newfound love.

I’m the new BlogFabulous blogger Tracee Sioux. I am answering your post because I hadn’t actually read the original post.

I’m so glad that you are a vital and loving person. It also sounds like Kim’s father had very long-term marriages by today’s standards.

I think everyone “imagines” they would be married once and that would be it. They’d never make the “mistake” again. But, once you live real life perhaps the “done” part is harder than it looks. I guess I’d already be on “two and done.”

Glad you’ve found your happiness.

I’m in the verge of my third marriage. It’s frightening. But I, as I imagine your father to be, am a vital and loving person. I married my first husband to produce children. I was so baby crazed I didn’t realize he would be the only child in our marriage. I married my second husband for security — not realizing his insecurities would nearly cost me my life. The third relationship is what marriage should be — love, respect and mutual admiration.

I swore I would never marry again. But sometimes, when we’ve learned our lessons, God sends us what we need. I thank God I haven’t forgotten how to love; and neither has your father.
