I hate to think that she spent the next 66 years alone because of her love for her late husband...as romantic as that is, 66 years is a long, long time for a woman as young as she was when Alfred died.

Back in the 1920's it would not have been easy to move on with another man's child.

We were quick stick our stories to tally. <br /><br />We didn't do anything as bad as nailing folk up to trees or getting young kids to give us a blow job.

Thank you for the clarification. If Katie didn't get remarried, it could well have been her choice. I've known lots of women, once they were free, who never chose that way of life again. My favorite was Blanche. She was married for 65 years, always the ideal wife and mom. Her husband passed when she was 88. Her daughters' husband also passed that year. She and her daughter lived together until Blanche finally died at 98. The two of them said those were the happiest years of their lives. They became basketball fans and watched all the games, the house stayed clean by itself, they only cooked when they wanted to eat. They weren't being negative saying they were happier without husbands, just that they found unexpected, wonderful new lives for themselves.Jan Blawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697621979002856884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-4846637932745342552015-04-16T09:57:28.781+01:002015-04-16T09:57:28.781+01:00I shall go back to my last post in a moment Lee.
