Make New Friends

We were both at the park today.. and we just happened to be chatting and she mentioned that she's a widow.. "Me too" I said and boom we were off to the races talking about our experiences.

 Her husband died in a freak plane accident in October. He was the pilot of a plane that crashed into a soccer field. Thankfully without anyone on the field and he and his passenger passed quickly.

Unfortunately she's not from this area and is visiting / staying with her sister who lives here.. she was at the park with her 3 nephews and her younger son.

It was nice to talk to someone who gets it... who totally understands what we go through and how we get treated as widows. I wish that we could have talked longer but all the kiddos were getting tired and needed to head on back to our homes.

I hope to run into her again before she heads back home..
