My name is Raji. Mom died when I was just admitted in college 1st year. One day I came home from my college that day in late December and found Dad sitting in the living room looking like his world had collapsed. When I asked what was wrong, he said nothing. I knew that he attended one marriage ceremony (one of his friend who is hardly two years junior to him) yesterday night. I had suspected that something was going on.
I didn’t want to leave Dad all alone – he had taken it real hard when Mom died. They had been married for over 19 years when she died. I had hoped Christmas would cheer things up, but it turned into a real ‘downer’ for us both. Dad’s only 36 ( He got married at the age of 17 only & then my mother was only 15 years old) and a nice looking guy. He’s about 5’11” and 153 lbs. or so, in good shape. I told him to get a date – go out and celebrate New Years – live it up a little. He was single again.
