Yes, I am not really comfortable in using that word and I don't I will ever get used to it.<br /><br />Thanks for understanding.<br /><br />Royhttp://singlefatherhood.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395899.post-46316518671067978302012-11-02T22:07:00.962-07:002012-11-02T22:07:00.962-07:00I like the way you think, Roy.

I don't think he's ever referred to her as his "late wife," either - though of course around us, he would only refer to her by name, naturally. I don't see why others' notions of what you ought to call your wife matter. You call her by her names - wife, Nimia, Mama - because that's WHO she is to you. Not who she was, but who she IS.

But not anymo...Yes, that confuses your new readers. But not anymore since you've made that clear to everyone now. <br /><br />By saying "late" doesn't mean that you're not married to her anymore. It's just making clear to everyone that she's in heaven now. <br /><br />However, if it's that uncomfortable for you to say that word, then by all means, don't use it. Your friends and readers will understand.<br /><br />Happy Wednesday!tashabudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707659728810975773noreply@blogger.com
