Hi Dr. Laura,

I emailed you about 2 years ago about my family status. I'm a 32-year-old single father of a now 10-year-old daughter. My wife passed away 3 years ago from cervical cancer. We both live with my mom and dad ever since the passing of my wife. My parents have been phenomenal with the help.

Like some of your other listeners, I've also made a commitment to abstain from a relationship with another woman until my daughter becomes 18 and over. Even though it hasn't been easy, I've stayed focused! I've also heard some comments outside my immediate family about when will I start dating again. I take it with a grain of salt and pay no mind to it.

Thank you for all you do! I found your radio program in a time of need and you've been a big help in my life. You give simple, common sense advice about right and wrong and doing the right thing. As they say, common sense isn't so common.
