Introduction	In a Nutshell My wife died in 2009 from a brain tumor. It was 22 months from her diagnosis to her passing - our girls were 5 and 7 at the time. I am now remarried to a wonderful woman who has two children from a previous marriage. We are now a "modern family"...the six of us together. My hope is that this blog helps out other people who are unfortunately in a situation where they lost a spouse. Their seems to be plenty of material out there for woman who have lost their husbands, but not so much for men who have lost their Wives. If my ramblings, rants and thoughts can help someone else out…that would be good
