I started dating Lynette about two years after her divorce, about the time she had decided that not all men were like her former spouse. We married 9 months later. Having an instant family, she had a 4 year old son, was a bit of a challenge. It helped that we had the same religious background and that she has a loving spirit and was able to overlook a lot of my shortcomings. (“men tend to be that way”, or “at least he’s not as bad as my former husband”). We just celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary in March.
