Would you date again?

Someone asked me this question today.  All I could say was that I wasn't ready and don't know that I ever will be.  I'm still married in my mind.  The love of my life may be gone, but he still lives in my heart and will forever.  I sometimes miss companionship, but it doesn't last for long.  It's so lonely here in the house sometimes, but the solitude suits me right now.  I miss Gene every moment of everyday.  The tears flow as I write this.  No one really understands what I'm going through and I don't expect them to.  Just to be there when I need them is all I can ask for right now.
