My Mum & Dad were married for 51 years, but sadly my Mum died of cancer in January. My Dad (who's 72) bumped into an old female friend of theirs a few months after Mum died. He soon started visiting her regularly & going out for meals with her. My Dad was very honest about what he was doing & said they were just friends and that he enjoyed having some female company, especially someone he could reminisce with. I was pleased he'd found a friend, especially as we live over 2 hours away & have 2 young DDs, so can't see my Dad as often as I'd like.
But recently, I've started to think my Dad is now having a relationship with this lady as he is always going round for meals & has met her son & her friends. I know he wants me to meet her when we next visit him. The problem is that I find it so hard to think of my Dad with someone else. I still miss my Mum so much & often cry when I think about her. I DO want my Dad to be happy and am pleased he has someone who wants to spend time with him and look after him. But I just don't like the idea of meeting her yet as it's only just over 4 months since Mum died. Sorry about the long waffle....I'm not even sure what I want people to say!!
