They are just friends right now, because he's afraid of getting too close this soon after Leandra's death

he lost his wife/girlfriend?

What do you think of the new girl? My daughter just got engaged to her BF of 3 years. He's wonderful.

yikes he lost his GF?

how long ago?

Last week... Yeah girl friend, they had only been back together for about three days but have been off and on for about a year

I hope mine stay away from engagement for a while. Rick (son) was engaged for about three months and she changed to a different person...

One of the articles

Leandra has a 19 month old daughter

oh wow how horrible!

The thing is my daughter had been asked by Cory to go with them. If she hadn't had to work that night she would have been in the truck

I can tell you that the situation has left quite a few kids around my house thinking just a little bit more about life

they have truly grew up over night

luck that your daughter was working!

they must be traumatised, losing a friend so young, what a horrible story :

Well, it has been hard for them. But the new girl friend is Leandra's bff and seems to really be a good kid. So they have kinda been lean-

leaning on each other to get through it. And of course she has a 9 month old daughter.

I don't think it's possible for my son to date a girl who doesn't already have a kid!!

it's good they have each other huh!

actually it may be a blessing in disguise. a bad situation that has now kept him away from the one he was engaged to-would have been bad

glad you're sharing this btw, hope your son knows people are sharing

Yes, I think it has helped him to know there are people who don't even know him who care about his well being.

That is a plus in any circumstance
