I am 44 years old. It so happened that a year ago I became a widow. I have two children: a son and a daughter. My children are already grown up. My daughter finished school this year and became a student. And my son is already in his third year at university. So two months ago I met Adam. Adam is a very nice and kind man. We started dating. And recently Adam asked me to be his wife.
I, of course, have not forgotten my husband. But I can not revive him. I understand that I have to move on. But when I told my children about Adam, they were outraged. They were totally against us getting married.
– So you’ve already forgotten your father! How can you do this?! – my daughter became indignant.
– Do you want to bring a stranger into our apartment? I didn’t think you were like that! You betrayed our father! – my son told me.
Of course, I tried to explain to my children that they were wrong. But they didn’t understand me. Now I don’t know what to do. If I marry Adam, my children won’t want to communicate with me. And if I say no to Adam, I’ll be alone. After all, my children will soon have families of their own. Who would need me then?
I tried to explain this to my children, but they would not hear or understand me. I asked Adam to wait.
– Maybe, in time, my children will understand me! – I told Adam.
Adam agreed to wait. But how long would his patience last! What a pity that my children don’t understand that I am a living person and want to be happy.
