I was still quite young when I lost my husband to a fatal car crash. I had three young children, two of whom were not even in school yet, and I was overwhelmed at the vast responsibility that I had lying ahead of me. I poured my whole heart and soul into the kids, helping them to cope without their dad.

A couple of years after the accident. I decided that it was time for me to get back in the dating game. I had spent two year giving my all to my kids and I knew that it was time to put some effort into tasking care of my needs. I asked a few of my single friends where was the best place to find local singles.

I was not really into the bar scene, as they suggested, as I still had three kids to take care of. I also knew that most men would find that very fact daunting. I went to some free online dating sites and put up my profile, wanting to be honest from the get go. I knew that, if the fact that I had children bothered them, than they would not even contact me.

I was lucky to meet my second soul mate, who has become a very good father to the kids. While ha cannot take the place of their biological father, he loves them more than I could have ever hoped and we are all lucky to have him in our lives.
