This topic was on our local radio show. 

When my daddy died, my mother never remarried.  Albeit, she did have a long-term boyfriend, common-law husband or whatever you wish to call him.  He was a true father figure to me & my sister. 

I never asked her why she didn't marry Bill. I guess in my heart I didn't want her to.  In my young mind that meant she would totally forget about my daddy.  Now that I'm grown & have been thru some things of my own, I know that's not the case.
